After Chi You died, these demon beasts also realized that the tide had turned. After all, those who could come here to join the battle all had some level of spiritual intelligence. Those foolish pigs and dumb cattle without any intelligence just followed along with the Great Demons who did possess it.

The Great Demons had originally intended to put up a desperate resistance, but Shi Feiyang was willing to offer them a way out. Why continue to fight to the death? They each spoke human words, expressing their willingness to leave and hoping Shi Feiyang would keep his promise.

Shi Feiyang then instructed Ancestor Xian Kong and Divine Monarch Zhen Zhenyue to withdraw their magical treasures to unblock the path and reconnect the waterways. The demons quickly returned to the sea, fearing Shi Feiyang might change his mind, and they hurriedly swam towards deeper and broader oceans.

Many of these demon beasts were super Great Demons created by Chi You through various splicing and assembling. Letting them out loose meant losing control, which could lead to unrest across the Four Seas.

However, Shi Feiyang couldn't worry about them for the moment. As long as they didn't cause too much trouble, he would let them await the arrival of the Dharma Decline Era, when mana would disappear and they would turn into ordinary giant sea creatures, eventually dying naturally.

In truth, Shi Feiyang foresaw another possibility: these spliced and assembled giant sea creatures might also possess the ability to cultivate. Some of them might even have learned portions of the Heavenly Forbidden Technique. If they could connect with the Heavenly World and project avatars and transformation, perhaps they could still be active for a while in the Dharma Decline Era. When seen by those foolish people, they might be worshipped as immortals, which is not impossible...

This human calamity, or rather the calamity of human warfare stirred up by Chi You, thus passed by without much incident.

Shi Feiyang dispatched personnel to clean up the battlefield, including the obstinate and irredeemable demon beasts, and the gu worms still flying and scattering in the Southern Border were all swept away and eliminated one by one.

The Sword Immortals of both demonic and righteous paths, whom Chi You had gathered, seeing the situation turning bad, escaped faster than each other. For instance, Mahayana Venerable Sikong Zhan, upon noticing that Chi You was being defeated but not yet completely destroyed, immediately turned away and fled overseas. Reaching thousands of miles beyond the East Sea, he turned back to check the situation. Seeing the explosion of the Returning God Sound, and knowing Chi You's destruction was a foregone conclusion, he completely fled towards the two northeastern seas.

The Ming Dynasty's three armies crossed the Great Wall for a counterattack, slaughtering the Zhu Rong Tribes of the North Sea's thirty-six nations until they fled, leaving helmets scattered and blood flowing like rivers. Only a few escaped back to the North Sea, totaling no more than 1,800 people. They returned to Jiang Xuejun's Holy Mother's Temple, crying and praying for the Holy Mother's manifestation...

Jiang Xuejun was trapped in Thunder City of the Kunlun Sect. Previously, Mr. Zhong came to ask Shi Feiyang, but while Shi Feiyang was encircling and suppressing Chi You, he couldn't conduct a comprehensive assessment and instructed them to capture and imprison her, planning to deal with it once he was free.

After all, Jiang Xuejun was Master Yan Yingmu's only heir in the Human World, and Yan Yingmu's status was quite exceptional. No matter what, Shi Feiyang had to show her some respect. He prepared to capture Jiang Xuejun, forcibly remove the avatar of the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader from her, and then let her choose: either reincarnate or go into retreat in the mountains until the arrival of the magical era, when she wouldn't cause any major trouble anymore.

However, just as Shi Feiyang was suppressing Chi You, expelling the many demon beasts from Bohai, the Kunlun Sect attempted to capture Jiang Xuejun.

Jiang Xuejun, with a fierce temperament, did not take these people of the Kunlun Sect seriously, thinking that in a one-on-one fight, no one could match her. Even without one-on-one, she considered herself capable of challenging the entire Kunlun Sect alone.

But the Tianxin Five Thunder City was extremely annoying, trapping her alive inside it. Every dimension clashed, surrounded by lightning, which would deploy an electric net at the slightest provocation to trap her. Trying to rush in any direction met a string of thunderous bombardments, tossing her about in the sky. She exhausted every skill she had; whether brute force with mana or using cunning to find openings to break formations, all proved futile, even costing her significant amounts of primordial qi.

Ultimately, she was struck by the combined Five Thunders unleashed together, projected from the five Thunder Cities, catching her off guard with a massive Heavenly Heart Thunder, causing her to bleed from all seven orifices and severely injuring her.

She was filled with extreme resentment. If her thirty-six Mystic Yin Sha Banners were still around, how could she end up like this!

When she reached a dead end, the Kunlun Sect believed they would surely capture her and hand her over to Shi Feiyang. At this moment, Xuanyuan Dharma King arrived!

Xuanyuan Dharma King had not yet cultivated his divine skill to Great Success; his reason for coming this time was to rescue Jiang Xuejun.

Strictly speaking, he wasn't here for Jiang Xuejun but for the one-quarter of the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader's soul within her!

He came quietly, without alerting anyone, suddenly acting, creating a Buddha's illusion with the Zhunti Bowl and Mystic Yin True Water, as if a high monk from the Buddhist path descended from the south.

The Kunlun Sect thought it was a high monk or a divine nun from the Buddhist path assisting in dealing with Chi You. Xuanyuan Dharma King released countless Mystic Yin Demon-Gathering Banners to the north, while he himself struck from the west, catching Heavenly Pond Master by surprise, nearly smashing his Thunder City to pieces.

Once the Kunlun Sect reacted and regained their footing, Xuanyuan Dharma King had already rescued Jiang Xuejun and taken her back to the West!

Shi Feiyang came to check the situation, finding the Kunlun Sect members dejected as they explained the incident.

Shi Feiyang did not blame them: "Jiang Xuejun was not meant to die; this is indeed a demon barrier she brought upon herself. If we had captured her, we wouldn't have killed her. If she was willing to turn back, respecting Master Yingmu's face, not only would we help her separate and eliminate the avatar of the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader,

we would also help her concentrate and stabilize her soul, assist her in reincarnating. In twenty or thirty years, she would restore her cultivation and might even achieve Yang God and ascend to the Immortal Realm. But Xuanyuan Dharma King wanted to save her, and she followed him. It was not Xuanyuan Dharma King who came to save Jiang Xuejun,

It was the mutual attraction and union of the two parts of the Heavenly Sect Leader's Primordial Spirit. Her departure meant the complete annihilation of her original Primordial Spirit will, just like Xuanyuan Dharma King. They are all stepping stones for the resurrection of the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader, and ultimately, what they achieve after the fusion of their Primordial Spirits is the Natural Sect Leader and not themselves."

Upon hearing about the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader's intent to resurrect, all the immortals of the Kunlun Sect were startled, for that fellow was fearless of the Heavenly Tribulation back in the day and eventually died due to Heavenly Punishment.

"What should we do? Should we go to Xuanyuan Dharma King in advance?"

Shi Feiyang sighed and shook his head, "I hold more than a quarter of the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader's avatar; if he truly wants to resurrect, he must take this part from me too. Let's wait for him to come to me. I have a feeling something bad is about to happen."

Before he finished speaking, a rainbow light flew rapidly from the eastern heavens and earth. As it approached and unfolded, it was Ruan Jiu, the Red Staff Immortal Boy from the Lingjiao Immortal Mansion of the Eastern Extreme Tianpeng Mountain.

Seeing him come, Shi Feiyang immediately knew that something had happened with Deng Yin.

Sure enough, Ruan Jiu spoke with regret, "Deng Yin was taken away by someone!"

Originally, the Princess of Stone God was using Chi You's method, along with Red Corpse God Monarch and Jiulei God Monarch, little by little, to take away Deng Yin.

Today, exchanging a finger, tomorrow a toe, even the Three Souls and Seven Spirits were gradually replaced.

Master Chi Zhang did not anticipate they would use such a method to take someone away, and not to mention Master Chi Zhang, no one else in the world could imagine it!

Master Chi Zhang, calculating that Deng Yin would eventually be taken away, was already cautious and had his disciples take turns guiding Deng Yin in cultivation. He thought it foolproof but didn't expect Xin Ru Nun to arrive in the vicinity of Tianpeng Mountain.

Seeing through the hexagrams, Master Chi Zhang predicted that Xin Ru Nun would intervene to help take Deng Yin away and concentrated his efforts on guarding against this old nun. However, the old nun did nothing and merely wandered around Tianpeng Mountain, attracting their attention while covertly allowing others to aid her. Though she did nothing...

Master Chi Zhang was maddened, vowing to confront that old nun eventually in front of his disciples!

After hearing Ruan Jiu's account, Shi Feiyang was silent for a moment and finally said, "This matter isn't your fault, nor can it be blamed on Master Chi Zhang. Ultimately, it's due to me. Princess Stone God wants to take A Yin away. If he had aligned himself with you all and remained in Lingjiao Immortal Mansion, then no matter what means Princess Stone God employed, she wouldn't have succeeded in taking him away,

unless he cooperated voluntarily. There's resentment between us because I deceived him in the last life... forget it. There's not much that can be done now; he can do as he pleases. The Dharma Decline Era is about to arrive, and Earth Tribulation and Human Tribulation have passed, with Heavenly Tribulation still ahead. The depletion of nature's spiritual energy is also part of the Heavenly Tribulation..."

Being a leader in the Mysterious Sect isn't easy. Everyone looks to him as their leader. If something arises, he merely sends out a flying talisman to summon them, and myriad immortals gather to follow his command. When others have problems, he must address them, striving to find a future path for all immortals!

Then, he continued to lead everyone in clearing the battlefield, thoroughly eradicating demon beasts, poisonous insects, evil qi, and demons from the Central Earth Continent, restoring a bright universe.

He instructed Yuan Tuo to lead a million Daoist soldiers back to the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain while retaining the other immortals in the Capital's Yuan Yang Palace.

Shi Feiyang wanted to convene with them to strategize for surviving the Heavenly Tribulation.

Ordinary Heavenly Tribulations are relatively easy to overcome, whether it's Fire Tribulation, Thunder Tribulation, or Wind Tribulation; he has methods to help everyone pass through safely.

The troublesome part is the Demon Tribulation, where so many immortals would attract tens of thousands of Heavenly Demons, Earth Demons, and Yin Demons... The negative emotions and evil thoughts among them are contagious.

For instance, if one person feels bad, they can cause others to feel similarly bad.

If one person utters insults at another, the latter will eventually retort, leading to a spiral that culminates in an explosion!

This issue requires preemptive precaution. Shi Feiyang possesses the demon-suppressing skill, but it only shields against outer demons and cannot suppress internal heart demons; each must refine their own heart demon.

Besides these, it is imperative to discuss collectively how to confront the impending Dharma Decline Era!
