Grandmaster Ha Ha always liked to hide behind others to steal the low-hanging fruits, never truly willing to step forward boldly.

He cast his magic in the cave, and a Dharma Body appeared in the air outside, towering over ten zhang in height, radiating golden light, seated atop a cloud of Golden Radiance and Auspicious Cloud, resembling Buddha descending to the mortal realm.

With a gentle press of his hands, he suppressed the yellow sand and red flames below, forcing back Atong's Buddha Light and Yunluo Mother's Flying Sword, then spoke, "I am already aware of the intentions of the two Dao friends, but as Lie Baduo has come to me in desperation, I cannot just hand him over for you to execute.

Doing so would make it seem as though the disciples taught by Bai Mei Zen Master are overly tyrannical, contrary to the compassionate nature of the Buddhist teachings. If you two must seek revenge today, I can allow Lie Baduo to face you in a fair battle; after all, these are family matters for you to resolve..."

Shi Feiyang, listening from a distance, could not wait for Atong and Yunluo Mother to agree and howled, "Grandmaster Ha Ha, don't resort to any tricks and schemes, the Emei Sect will flatten your Wildman Mountain today!"

As he spoke, he had already flown closer, reaching out and summoning the Taiyin Divine Thunder, shooting out dozens of Golden Light Thunders.

The "Great Buddha Dharma Body" in the sky raised a hand upward, catching all the Golden Light Thunders in its palm, crackling and popping as if exploding beans, quickly vanishing from sight.

Shi Feiyang "was shocked" and launched three more chained Five Fire Divine Thunders.

Grandmaster Ha Ha waved his hand again, diverting the Thunder Pearls in mid-air, guiding them straight up into the sky where they exploded into three bursts of multicolored fierce flames.

"Yue friend, why be so hasty? I have no grievances or hatred with you or your sect; it's not necessary for us to fight to the death..."

Shi Feiyang "furious" replied, "No grievances? Wasn't it you who inverted the Earth's meridians on the day the Emei Sect was established, igniting Earth Fire and magma, intending to destroy Emei Mountain? Didn't you lead our sect's traitor, Miechen, to completely abandon the righteous path, now entangled with demons? Nevermind these personal grievances, how many innocent lives have you harmed over these past thousand years? Today the Emei Sect will act for heaven and absolutely exterminate you!"

He pointed upwards to the sky and shouted, "Disciples of the Emei Sect, heed my command! Today, we fight this old monster in a battle to the death, without surrender!"

Right after, he launched the Golden and Jade Divine Blade, transforming it into dozens of Golden Light Blades attacking Grandmaster Ha Ha, and also casting two beams of light from a treasure known as Liangyi Tian Tan Mirror, capable of manipulating Yin and Yang, aiming directly to shatter Grandmaster Ha Ha's Dharma Body.

Among the other Emei Sect disciples, experienced and prudent ones like Qi Lingyun, Zhuge Jingwo, and others felt that this wasn't typical of the Emei Sect's style.

The Emei Sect usually acted after careful planning; although the younger members might rashly charge ahead due to minor provocations, the elders would not, considering the situation thoroughly.

Yue Wen especially felt that her uncle Yue Yun, always gentle in manner but firm in principle, would not typically make such a life-and-death proclamation, mainly because there wasn't a profound hatred with Grandmaster Ha Ha.

However, their hesitation was brief. Others, like the smiling monk, Yi Jing, and more, all conjured their Flying Sword Magical Treasures, aiming collectively at Grandmaster Ha Ha's Golden Buddha Dharma Body.

Shi Feiyang, leading more than half of the people, charged forward, and those who had doubts, including Atong and Yunluo Mother, also joined the attack.

Grandmaster Ha Ha, furious, thought to himself that after all, being an elder, even masters like Lianshan could only be considered peers, and formally, people like Bai Mei and Deng Yin would be his juniors. Having humbled himself to talk and negotiate, they still acted presumptuously, utterly unforgivable!

The old monster snorted angrily, brought his hands together, and suddenly winds and clouds surged from all directions, the sky darkened, and daylight turned to night within a thousand li!

As "night" descended, darkness engulfed everything, only the light from everyone's Flying Swords and Magical Treasures flickered.

Grandmaster Ha Ha's Golden Buddha Dharma Body had already disappeared from its original spot, and everyone's attacks hit nothing but air.

Grandmaster Ha Ha was gone, and so were Huang Yun and Chiyen, the two demon disciples.

At that moment, in the darkness, fire dragons suddenly emerged. Their bodies, made from purplish-red Demon Fire wrapped in green Yin Fire Ghost Flames, moved with ferocious grace, rapidly growing in size. In an instant, they reached over a hundred feet long and spread in all directions, choosing victims to devour!

"This is bad! These are the Twelve Supreme Heaven Divine Slaughters!"

Shi Feiyang thought to himself that Grandmaster Ha Ha truly had a ruthless heart, using such a powerful Big Move right from the start; he intended to wipe out all the younger members of the Emei Sect in one fell swoop!

He didn't want to rely on cunning schemes to see these young children of the Emei Sect suffer grievously, so he promptly warned, "Everyone, don't scatter! Gather around me!"

Seeing such a scene, many Emei disciples were terrified and, hearing his call, immediately gathered beside him, forming a united front with their Sword Light Treasure Qi.

Yi Jing exerted her full power to prop up the canopy of the golden light umbrella, its surface expanding to cover an area of about an acre, shielding all her fellow disciples and sisters beneath, with strands of light energy hanging down to protect the surroundings.

She also took out the Six Yang Divine Light Mirror, exhaled True Qi into it, and shook it vigorously, emitting six symbols of the Qian Trigram from the mirror. Upon contact in the air, they exploded into Qiantian True Fire, transforming into fireballs that launched toward an incoming fire dragon, blasting it into a huge fireball.

The others also released their Flying Sword Magical Treasures, attacking the fire dragons relentlessly.

There were too many fire dragons, and they were overwhelmingly powerful. Only a few among them had the strength to destroy them; the rest had their Flying Sword Magical Treasures blasted away or even damaged by the fire dragons.

Li Yingqiong and Zhou Qingyun then distributed the Qiantian Yiyuan Thunderbolts from the Saintess to everyone, using them to blast the fire dragons to pieces.

However, these fire dragons, formed from the Evil Qi of the heavens and continuously fueled by Grandmaster Ha Ha's Mana, were endless. Birthed by the power of Grandmaster Ha Ha, a total of 3,600 fire dragons were fabricated, constantly regenerating as soon as they were destroyed, and within the time it took to eat a meal, their Qiantian Yiyuan Thunderbolts were quickly depleted.

Only then did they realize the formidable power of Grandmaster Ha Ha, truly worthy of the title "Five Eccentrics and Three Demons" of a thousand years ago. Qi Lingyun thought of suggesting to Uncle Master "Yue Yun" that they should break out and retreat first, then regroup and make further plans; however, upon looking, Uncle Master "Yue Yun" was nowhere to be found—no one knew when or where he had gone!

Everyone quickly began searching, but to no avail. The leaders urgently gathered together to discuss leaving the area.

However, surrounded by pitch darkness with no distinction of east, west, north, or south, everyone tried flying in one direction for a long time, but still saw no daylight.

Fire dragons continued to gather around, repeatedly striking the canopy of the golden light umbrella, causing it to swing perilously, leaving Yi Jing close to vomiting blood.

Others who had defensive Magical Treasures also released them to reinforce the umbrella's exterior, but their Mana was not as strong as Yi Jing's, also unable to withstand several impacts from the fire dragons.

"Ugh!" Yi Jing couldn't bear it any longer, and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. "We must leave quickly!"

"We should go, but where?" Some had already begun to despair.

Just then, a voice reached their ears: "Do not panic; I will guide you out with the Taiqing Divine Light!"

"It's the Sect Leader True Master!"

Hearing Qi Shuming's voice, everyone was both shocked and delighted.
