Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor held the Demon Sword in his hand, his gaze coldly sweeping across the Emei Sect disciples who had just besieged him.

Everyone his glance touched felt a chill at the core, even Li Yingqiong's breathing quickened.

After a brief eye contact, an inexplicable surge of grief welled up in Li Yingqiong's heart, as if her beloved had just been tragically killed before her eyes, leaving her forever, yet she was powerless to prevent it!

Li Yingqiong's only relative was Li Ning; looking into the Demon Light of Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor's eyes, she truly felt as if her father had already died. The discomfort made her insides spasm!

Even she, a steadfast and resolute killer, was so affected, let alone others who seemed possessed by grief, many could not help but cry uncontrollably, as if each had lost their dearest loved ones...

The Heavenly Immortal-level experts, due to their Primordial Spirits reaching Pure Yang, could still maintain control, feeling only a twinge in their noses and quickly became alert, urgently using Mysterious Sect's mental method to resist.

The Earth Immortal-level ones could not control themselves, crying ceaselessly, sobbing and gasping in pain.

Those below the level of Earth Immortal struggled even more to maintain composure, directly breaking into mournful sobbing, crying out loud, even bleeding tears from their eyes!

In the sky, especially right above the head of Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor, the Demon Light gathered, growing denser and heavier, turning from light red to dark red swiftly...

The East Hill supporters who came to aid the Wutai Sect were scared pale and quietly fled, soon disappearing completely.

Only Jiang Shu, Situ Xingming, and their thirteen junior disciples remained. Many of their friends had just died at the hands of the Emei Sect's Flying Sword Magical Treasures, harboring deep hatred for the Emei Sect.

Most of these disciples were trained by Xu Feiniang, recognizing her as their master. Now that Xu Feiniang was dead, how could they not harbor hatred!

Each one of them had eyes red with rage, hoping that Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor would rise furiously and eliminate all enemies of the Emei Sect to avenge Xu Feiniang.

On Beishan, spectators watching the drama unfold also realized the severity of the situation.

Ling Hun and Mr. Zhong, among others, quickly consulted and hurriedly instructed their disciples to leave.

Yu Xiao disagreed, pulling out the ancient treasure Hou Yi's Solar Bow, eager to fight alongside his master in high spirits.

Mr. Zhong, stern in both voice and expression, urged him to return promptly, "Take this Kunlun Jade Qing Five Thunder Immortal Talisman, quickly find your fellow disciples and uncles, tell them to seal their caves and return to Kunlun Mountain immediately! Hurry, the great calamity is about to arrive!"

This was the first time Yu Xiao had seen his master so agitated, even more so than the last disintegration:

"Do I also need to find Auntie Banbian?"

"Go find her!"

Auntie Banbian had left the Kunlun Sect out of anger with her peers two sixty-year periods ago and had been invited to become the Sect Leader of the Wudang Sect.

After those one hundred and twenty years, she passed on the leadership of the Wudang Sect to Ling Lingzi, who had reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and departed with the seven Wudang ladies.

But she didn't return to Kunlun Mountain and took her disciples to Shuangbo Ridge, where there was a Three Pure Ones Temple, inhabited by a Daoist monk from the Corpse Ghost Path named Shi Yu, skilled in Corpse Ghost discipline.

Auntie Banbian had directly approached Shi Yu and declared, "Old nun like me now needs a quiet place for Daoist cultivation; I've taken a liking to your Three Pure Ones Temple. You demon monk, do not deserve such good feng shui. Your luck has run out. Leave with your disciples immediately, and I'll spare your life. If you resist, then this old nun must enforce heavenly justice!"

Shi Yu, well aware of Auntie Banbian's formidable reputation and ruthless hand, was also no weakling, having operated there for many years with over fifty disciples. Retreating without dignity was out of the question as it would dishonor his future teachings.

He refused to leave but agreed to allocate a set of courtyards behind to Auntie Banbian, "If Daoist friend does not disdain it, I will take care of you and your distinguished students' needs from now on…"

Auntie Banbian knew this would be the outcome, but she did not engage in idle talk, directly unleashing her Flying Sword.

After a duel, Shi Yu was cut into pieces by Auntie Banbian, and even his Primordial Spirit was blasted into fragments, totally annihilated.

She led the Wudang seven ladies to destroy all the Corpse Ghost Demon Banners he trained, collecting the souls to be liberated in the future.

Fifty-seven of Shi Yu's disciples were killed, only sparing six whose evil deeds were less severe. Each had one ear cut off, swore to repent and promised never to commit evil again before they were allowed to leave.

Since then, Auntie Banbian had occupied the Three Pure Ones Temple, quietly cultivating with her disciples.

Although she was named and dressed as a nun, she bizarrely didn't practice any spells but mastered the authentic Daoist Techniques of Kunlun Sect and chose such a Daoist Temple to cultivate her serenity, truly an oddity.

With her eccentric temperament and poor social relationships, the people of Kunlun Sect ignored her, and she paid no heed to others from the sect.

When Cui Wugu, a beggarly madwoman, passed by the Three Pure Ones Temple, Si Qinghuang, Banbian's youngest female disciple, unaware of her senior status, spontaneously offered food and drink.

Cui Wugu, impressed by the girl, casually provided some instructions.

Just out of retreat, Auntie Banbian saw this from afar and flew into a rage, coming out to have a fierce quarrel with Cui Wugu.

After that, even fewer in the Kunlun Sect interacted with her.

Now, hearing his master instructing him also to seek out this eccentric woman, Yu Xiao appeared troubled, "What if she refuses..."

"She will definitely agree! Hurry!" Mr. Zhong did not have time to explain further, urging him to go quickly.

With no choice, Yu Xiao left hastily with his fellow disciples.

Ling Hun also instructed his disciples to leave quickly, and even those from the Qingcheng Sect, like Red Flower and others, were ordered to leave immediately.

While Red Flower and others were waiting for Jiang Shu and reluctant to leave, Shi Zhu also came to persuade them. They finally agreed to temporarily wait in a nearby city's Daoist Temple.

Ling Hun was about to send the Huangshan Sect away, but upon spotting Shi Zhu, he swallowed back his words.

He knew Shi Zhu was the reincarnation of Elder Kuzhu, a revered elder among the Sword Immortals. How could he, of all people, presume to instruct him?

Shi Zhu also sensed the gravity of the situation and instructed Qiu Yuan and Jiang Weiyu, along with others, to escort the Huangshan Sect disciples away, "Return to Huangshan, seal the cave entrance, and do not open it for anyone except for me and Master!"

As the sect leader of the Huangshan Sect, his disciples naturally did not dare to disobey, and even his senior brother Qiu Yuan, who greatly respected him, led the people away.

In the blink of an eye, everyone from Beishan had also departed the scene, leaving only Ling Hun, Cui Wugu, Mr. Zhong, Shi Zhu, and a few others still paying attention to the situation.

At that moment, the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor had already merged with the sword and once again transformed into a thousand-foot-long rainbow that charged into the crowd of the Emei Sect!

The Three Immortals of the East Sea struck simultaneously, their cultivation of mana having reached the powerful level sufficient for ascension, suspended between the Golden Immortal and the Heavenly Immortal levels.

The Laughing Monk's Invisible Sword was forged from crystal iron and immortal medicine and had been cultivated for many years, yet the Invisible Swords of these three appeared with a mere wave of their hands and were many times more powerful than those of the Laughing Monk!

Each manifested nine Invisible Swords, a total of twenty-seven, and sent nine thousand strands of Invisible Sword Energy to collide with the blood-colored sword rainbow charging toward them, instructing their disciples to move back.

However, the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword had reached its most formidable peak state, a full merger of Chi You and the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor's essence, energy, spirit, and blood in a Human-Demon Union.

The thousand-foot blood rainbow clashed with the twenty-seven Invisible Swords, constantly hacking and slicing at one another, and within a few breaths, had shattered over half of them.

With a crackling sound, accompanied by the whistling of slicing through the air, the Demon Sword's tip shot straight at the Ascetic Monk!

The Ascetic Monk had previously had his mortal body shattered by Shi Feiyang using the Nine Heavenly Demon Slaying Immortal Swords in the Star Constellations Sea, and after his Primordial Spirit fled and reincarnated, he had cultivated his way back. Although he was now able to ascend to the Pure Land, his overall combat capability was still somewhat lesser than that of Xuan Zhenzi and Qi Shuming.

The Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, observing that he was the weaker prey, directly struck at him.

The Ascetic Monk, who cultivated both Buddhism and Daoism, had decided to aspire primarily to Buddhism with Daoism as secondary, and now, preparing to ascend to the Pure Land, his Buddhist powers overshadowed his Daoist Techniques. At this moment, his body radiated brilliance, with layers of Buddha Light emerging from all his pores. With the chant "Amitabha Buddha," a golden wheel appeared in front of him.

The wheel was divided into several layers: the innermost symbolizing the "three poisons" of greed, hatred, and delusion with images of a pigeon, a venomous snake, and a lazy pig—representative of all afflictive emotions.

The second layer symbolized the cycle of life and death.

The third layer was the Six Paths of Reincarnation, circulating ceaselessly: gods, asuras, humans, animals, hungry ghosts, and hell.

The fourth layer depicted the twelve links of dependent origination, beginning with ignorance and followed by formations, consciousness, name and form, six senses, contact, feeling, craving, grasping, becoming, birth, and old age and death.

On the outermost part, there was the image of a large Buddha, with hands in a mudra, holding up this golden wheel against the menacing Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword.

This was the pinnacle of the Ascetic Monk's years of Buddhist cultivation, gaining insight into the true essence of liberation from the wheels of human life. Whatever being was cast at it, would be sucked into this cycle by his cause and destiny, initiating a new round of reincarnations...

The thousand-foot blood rainbow shattered countless Invisible Sword Energies and fiercely stabbed into the central hub of the golden wheel.

Logically speaking, as the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor came in fury, which corresponds to the mind of aggression, his soul should have been captured into the wheel...

However, the world-dominating Demon Soldiers governed by Emperor Chi You did not enter, and after a brief standoff that lasted only a few breaths, the golden wheel suddenly shattered!

Realizing the danger, the Ascetic Monk transformed into a beam of golden light and fled swiftly. He was quick, for after the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword penetrated the golden wheel, it only managed to shatter a Golden Buddha substitute formed by his escaping light.

The Demon Sword knew the power of the Three Immortals of the East Sea and could not slay them in that moment.

Suddenly, Demon Light exploded, casting the whole world into darkness, all enveloped by a deep red Demon Light; beyond ten steps, everyone appeared only as blurred blood-red silhouettes.

Qi Shuming and Xuan Zhenzi attacked simultaneously; however, the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword suddenly vanished.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately sensed trouble.

The next instant, the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword reappeared in front of a group of Emei Sect disciples, its tip sweeping across, cutting Yu Yinggu, Sun Nan, and fourteen other Emei Sect disciples cleanly in half.

The remaining disciples, terrified, screamed loudly, "Master save me!"

Pursuers like Bai Guyi of the White Clouds, Zhu Mei the Short Monk, Master You Tan, and Ning Yizi quickly drew their swords and cast spells intercepting.

But the Demon Sword vanished once again.

Then, it reappeared in front of another group of Emei Sect disciples.
