Jiang Xuejun's image has always been straightforward and vigorous, with a deep hatred for evil, striking terror into the hearts of demons.

The Emei Sect has always been the vanguard in sweeping away demons.

No one expected that they would meet each other in such a manner today.

Originally, Jiang Xuejun's Soundless Divine Thunder was a signature move, but it was directed to the west, mostly exploding in the skies over Shanxi and Shaanxi. The Mystics Yin Divine Thunder was shot towards Liao Dong and Hebei, intercepted by Shi Feiyang's musical notes, and exploded into large clusters of white Cold Flame Cold Light and green Mystic Yin Evil Fire, emitting a black fog that covered the sky.

Golden Cicada and his group flew from the mountains around Zhangjiakou, heading straight towards the altar shrouded in black smoke, completely unprepared to encounter Jiang Xuejun like this.

Some young members of the Emei Sect even called Jiang Xuejun "Auntie."

Jiang Xuejun was momentarily lost in thought, but soon became "angry and embarrassed." The will of the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader took the lead again, and she shouted sharply, "What are you doing here? That Evil Dragon is the source of all wickedness! If the Emei Sect is still an Orthodox Sect, then immediately turn the Immortal Sword and join me in slaying that Evil Dragon!"

There were indeed some within the Emei Sect who wanted to slay the Evil Dragon; some even had their masters killed by Shi Feiyang and his disciples, so saying they hate him deeply is not an exaggeration.

However, from Qi Shuming to Li Yingqiong, the strategy has been to ease relations with Shi Feiyang and to form an alliance to jointly resist evil.

Everyone in the Emei Sect fell silent, eyes meeting to exchange opinions, and finally, they all turned to Golden Cicada.

After all, Golden Cicada was the leader of this group, and as Qi Shuming's son, he was the most talented and intuitive among them. It was only because he wanted to stay with Zhu Wenyong that he didn't become a Heavenly Immortal and willingly became an Earth Immortal, enduring the celestial calamity that occurred once every thirteen hundred years. In terms of real power, he was already above the level of Heavenly Immortal.

Golden Cicada recalled the events between Shi Feiyang and the Emei Sect over the years and felt discomfort.

Putting aside those deep-seated grudges of life and death, just the fact that Shi Feiyang disguised himself as Yue Yun to infiltrate Emei Mountain, and even used Ganoderma Immortal to deceive him, made him quite resentful.

At the time, the Emei Sect did not know; later, when the real Yue Yun appeared, they deliberated and speculated with Qi Shuming and others, retracing the entire process of Shi Feiyang's intrusion, realizing that even the Jade Lotus from Spiritual Jade Peak had been stolen by him, which the Emei Sect considered a great humiliation.

Golden Cicada asked everyone, "What do you think we should do? Are we going to help Aunt Jiang slay the Evil Dragon... confront True Master Shi? Or help True Master Shi confront Aunt Jiang?"

Someone immediately said, "Miao Zhen Temple is friendly with our Emei Sect, with friendships spanning generations, not to mention Senior Brother Yan is from Miao Zhen Temple. How can we help the Evil Dragon attack Aunt Jiang? Win or lose, what face would we show Senior Brother Yan if we return?"

Someone else immediately opposed, "The Emei Sect cooperating with True Master Shi is the trend, ever since Extreme Joy True Master mediated, Qi True Master responded, and the Sect Leader Senior Sister sent letters to the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain; the two factions have already declared all past grudges settled, joining forces to eradicate evil..."

Before he finished speaking, someone sneered, "That Evil Dragon is the biggest evil in this world already! To eradicate evil, one must first slay him!"

Golden Cicada asked Zhu Wen, "Sister Wen, what do you think?"

Zhu Wen said, "That demon Shi has always mixed with our enemies. Isn't the Wutai Sect our adversary? He joined Wutai Sect's people back then to sacrificially refine the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword; our masters and elders have said, if not for him, Wutai Sect's Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword would definitely not have been refined! And there's Blood God's son Deng Yin, who forced us to seal the Mountain Gate for decades, breaking Emei Sect's fortune and handing over the position of Mysterious Sect leader. Let's not even mention how many of our senior uncles, senior siblings were killed by the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword and Blood Demon? Such a demon, if not for the decision of our master and the Sect Leader Senior Sister, I would absolutely not wish to unite with him!"

Golden Cicada gazed at the distant sky and sighed deeply. He had everyone stand in two sides: "Those in favor of helping Aunt Jiang confront True Master Shi, stand in the west; those in favor of helping True Master Shi confront Aunt Jiang, stand in the east. Let's see how many there are on each side."

The group split into two between the sides, quickly forming two teams. Those standing on the west side were obviously more than those on the east, especially since Zhu Wen stood on the east side. She was known as the "sister-in-law" among everyone, with Golden Cicada heeding her advice in both major and minor affairs. Her firm stand on the west side almost made the matter a foregone conclusion.

Golden Cicada looked at those standing on the east, finding only the mature Shen Ruolan, Lei Que, Xu Xiang'e, and a few others, causing some difficulty.

Those standing on the west felt pleased, especially since some were whispering cheers, preparing to follow Jiang Xuejun and fight back to Yuan Yang Palace.

Golden Cicada said gravely, "Emei Sect's alliance with True Master Shi is the course set by my father and Li Senior Sister, which I cannot change easily. Furthermore, now that the distinction between right and wrong is before us, all sects and factions of the world's immortals stand with True Master Shi. If we suddenly switch sides, how can we position ourselves among the world's immortals in the future? Moreover, no matter our private relations with Aunt Jiang, she is now the vanguard of Chi You! Can we assist Chi You, lead these Zhu Rong barbarians, and march into the Great Wall, slaughtering the Central Plains southwards? How would that make our Emei Sect be seen?"

His words landed like a hammer, awakening everyone: Yes, even if we have a grudge against Shi Feiyang and are on good terms with Aunt Jiang, we can help her kill the Evil Dragon but cannot assist Chi You in crossing the pass to massacre innocents. The former is a small right and wrong, the latter a great right and wrong!

Golden Cicada had already made up his mind, letting everyone choose sides was merely to unify internal thoughts.

Though mischievous and naughty as a child, his comprehension and qualifications were among the highest among his peers, knowing that ever since the Emei Sect reconciled with Shi Feiyang, there were still many internally dissatisfied, merely not voicing it. But at critical moments, disharmony can easily cause incidents.

Therefore, this time he let everyone first understand why the Emei Sect wanted to ally with Shi Feiyang, only then could they truly unite to accomplish matters, as for past grudges, those could be addressed later.

Zhu Wen was seeing this serious and righteously indignant Golden Cicada for the first time. She usually enjoyed being temperamental, and Golden Cicada indulged her in everything, but at such times, she was willing to listen to Golden Cicada, especially seeing him in this moment, he seemed more handsome than usual, so she proactively walked from the west to the east: "I listen to Junior Brother Cicada."

The "sister-in-law" led by supporting the "big brother", making the remaining others feel awkward, so they all walked towards the east, indicating their support for Golden Cicada.

After uniting the people, Golden Cicada raised his hand and released the Seven Cultivation Swords.

The Emei Sect divided into two groups this time, one led by Li Yingqiong to exterminate the Red Lotus Demon's lair in West Kunlun, the other by Golden Cicada to assist Shi Feiyang against Chi You.

At the time of parting, Li Yingqiong gathered all the Seven Cultivation Swords from everyone to hand them over to Golden Cicada.

As Golden Cicada raised his hand to point, seven streams of rainbow light soared into the sky, the seven sword spirits of Golden Dragon, Jade Rabbit, Brocade Chicken, Ice Toad, Green Snake, etc., appeared in the air, and then combined into a colorful sword rainbow hundreds of feet long.

"Disciples of Emei, hear my command, follow me in vanquishing demons and eradicating the wicked!"

Everyone agreed in unison, releasing their own flying sword magical treasures, all aiming at Jiang Xuejun on the altar.

Golden Cicada shouted, "Aunt Jiang, we respect you as an elder and dare not be your enemy, but you shouldn't assist Chi You in leading the Zhu Rong south of the pass, bringing suffering to living beings! I hope you can still remember Elder Yan's teaching and quickly turn back, to join us in killing Chi You, to restore clarity to the world, otherwise, we will not be polite!"

Jiang Xuejun originally thought that this bunch of brats could help her deal with Shi Feiyang together, she clearly heard the conversations below from the altar, seeing them split into two teams, more obviously standing on her side, she was quite pleased, but who knew Golden Cicada's words would twist the situation around!

Why didn't I notice this kid was so eloquent before?

Jiang Xuejun's fury surged: "Apprentices and disciples of Qi Shuming dare to lecture me? Today I will show you just how fierce this old aunt is!"

With a wave of her hand, a huge Mystic Yin Demon-Gathering Banner unfurled, releasing a mass of black energy, expanding to tens of thousands of acres in an instant, crashing down on the Emei people, amidst the black clouds lurked endless demons roaring and wailing, ready to devour anyone.

Golden Cicada shouted loudly, "Everyone be wary of the demons!" He combined the Seven Cultivations and initially executed Human Sword Unity, piercing through the black cloud, aiming straight for Jiang Xuejun.

Jiang Xuejun recognized the power of the Seven Cultivation Swords, Golden Cicada had been cultivating the Mysterious Sect orthodox for many years, although not achieving Pure Yang, his Mana was not to be underestimated, if she were to release her flying sword, it would inevitably suffer damage.

So she stretched out a finger, unleashing thirty-six Mystic Yin Demon-Gathering Divine Banners, arrayed in the sky to form a formation, trapping Golden Cicada with his sword inside.

Zhu Wen, seeing Golden Cicada trapped, shouted loudly and rushed over, but Jiang Xuejun waved her hand to release countless Mystic Yin Divine Thunders, which blew her back, were it not for her superior root bone qualifications and years of diligent cultivation, far surpassing her peers in Mana, she would have been blown to smithereens, but even so, her sword light dimmed, her coiffure disheveled.

Black mists engulfed, divine and demons wailed, thirty-six demonic banners fell, trapping the Emei except for Golden Cicada inside.

Lei Quecalled out to everyone, urging them to gather together, connecting their sword light magical treasures into a continuous beam, unleashing Taiyin Divine Thunder with full force, releasing vast golden thunder against the Mystic Yin Divine Thunder, resulting in earth-shattering explosions, thousands of thunder fireballs rolling and shooting up and down through the sky.

Their strength was still somewhat lacking, incomparable to the team Li Yingqiong led to West Kunlun.

Jiang Xuejun now possessed the top divine skills and techniques of both orthodox and unorthodox, seeing the Mystic Yin Great Method locked with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture of Emei, unable to prevail in a short time, she deployed a spell from the Tai Xuan Golden Chapter, first inverting the Five Elements, disordering Yin and Yang, then launched Soundless Divine Thunders, ultimately wielding the Heavenly Dragon Scissors and the Divine Maiden Shuttle, intending to kill the five who previously stood east and subdue the rest into submission!
