Two days later.

The sky suddenly changed, filled with dark clouds and thunderstorms, as if Thunder Dragons were roaring, fierce winds howling, the thunder rolling as if the apocalypse had arrived.

[The Demon Beast attack has begun, all sects prepare for battle]

The Voice of Hongmeng resounded, a streak of red lightning cut across the sky, signaling the start of battle.

...

Blue Water Sect.

This sect had refused to join the Xiao Yao Sect two days ago, worrying about losing face, thus deciding to fight on their own.

Due to the Sect Leader's actions, many disciples left the sect in fear, even two Elders ran away, leaving only half the disciples and some Elders who remained steadfast.

"Everyone, pull yourselves together, it's just Demon Beasts, I refuse to believe we can't defeat them!"

A senior disciple stood on a high platform, shouting to boost morale.

The other disciples, hearing this, all raised their arms and shouted along with the senior disciple.

"Right, nothing to fear, those mere Demon Beasts can be cut down with a sword!"

"That's right, we don't need anyone's protection, we're the strongest, kill the Demon Beasts, protect the sect!"

"Well said, kill the Demon Beasts, protect the sect, no matter how many come, we'll kill them all."

"What nonsense is the Xiao Yao Sect, do we need their protection? Ridiculous."

"Breaking through Foundation Establishment today, time to test my skills on those Demon Beasts."

Countless disciples were highly spirited, showing no fear, a scene playing out in countless sects.

"I'm aware of everyone's morale, and I will fight alongside all of you."

At this moment, the Sect Leader appeared, bringing along several Elders, standing with everyone.

With disaster looming, no one backed down, bravely facing the battle.

Roar!!!

Just then, sounds of beast roars echoed across the sky, emanating from all around the sect, a sound that shook the heart.

The morale of all the disciples, which was just lifted, was shattered by the roars, leaving them dispirited and panicked.

"What should we do, the Demon Beasts are here!" A female disciple was trembling so much that her sword-wielding hand shook, she had just joined this sect as a Huaxia person.

Originally wanting to leave to join the Xiao Yao Sect, she made a Daoist partner here and was reluctant to leave, so she stayed.

Now seeing the Demon Beasts arrive, she dared not fight and wanted to flee.

"Hahaha, humans, you haven't run away."

An eerie voice sounded, shocking everyone as they looked towards the sky.

There they saw a massive Demon with wings spanning over five meters, its body blocking out the sky and sun, circling with its wings.

"A... Mahayana Stage Demon Beast!" The senior disciple saw the beast's level and fell from the platform in fright, stammering with terror.

Everyone was panic-stricken, retreating continuously.

The appearance of a Mahayana Stage Demon Beast shattered their courage completely; their previously high morale vanished instantly, and now they only wished to escape.

"Vile creature, meet your death!" The Sect Leader shouted coldly, forming a Qi Condensed Sword, sending several strands of Sword Qi slashing towards the Mahayana Demon Beast.

He hadn't thought of running, for there was no escape; only fighting remained.

This might be a more dignified death, dying in battle was better than being a deserter.

"A mere Nascent Soul thinks to kill me?" The Mahayana Demon Beast sneered, slashing away the Sword Qi with a casual flap of its wings, rushing towards the Sect Leader with blinding speed.

In an instant, the Sect Leader was struck, crashing into a wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood, heavily injured.

In one painless attack, he had already lost.

Seeing even the Sect Leader defeated, the disciples were even more despondent.

"Damn, I joined the sect to fight, we can't escape anyhow, so let's kill!"

A Body Refining Huaxia person roared, charging at the Demon Beast.

Yet before the Demon Beast, what could he accomplish?

A single strike sent him flying, barely clinging to life.

Seeing such bravery in the Body Refining, other disciples no longer feared, each rushing up desperately against the Demon Beasts.

And they, were they merely there to die in vain.

As one disciple after another died before the Sect Leader, he was filled with regret.

Had he known it would come to this, he would have kneeled to join the Xiao Yao Sect, at least saving lives, a mere pride wasn't worth more than the lives of disciples.

But alas, no medicine for regret existed.

"I am the Blood Demon Ancestor, here by my master's command to purge all Demon Beasts."

At this moment, a voice rang out, causing everyone to be stunned, all looking up.

They saw an Ascension Powerhouse standing in the sky, with a light call, low-level Demon Beasts exploded instantly.

Several strands of Sword Qi slashed out, the Mahayana Demon Beast died in an instant, and within moments, all the Demon Beasts present were wiped out!

"You... why did you come to save us?" The Sect Leader asked in surprise at the Blood Demon Ancestor, recognizing him as one of the Xiao Yao Sect's Guardians.

Why would the Xiao Yao Sect save them?

He had rejected the Xiao Yao Sect at the time.

"Your actions have nothing to do with the other disciples, I am simply here on my master's orders, casually saving some Huaxia people, only this once."

Saying this, the Blood Demon Ancestor did not say another word, leaving instantly.

Seeing all the Demon Beasts wiped out, the surviving disciples looked at their fallen comrades with complex emotions.

In the end, it was the Xiao Yao Sect that saved them. The bold words from before now felt like loud slaps on their faces.

How laughable to say they didn't need anyone, yet in the end, they still relied on others to save their lives.

Truly the most laughable ones are they themselves.

"Everyone, pack up immediately, we're going to the Xiao Yao Sect to apologize." The Sect Leader struggled to stand.

Now, he understood the current situation, without the Xiao Yao Sect, they couldn't survive, a mere Mahayana Stage Demon Beast could kill them all.

Forget face, nothing is more important than life!

Before long, the entire Blue Water Sect headed to the Xiao Yao Sect seeking protection, but with their prior rejection, could they still join?

Not only that, other sects that hadn't joined the Xiao Yao Sect also received help from the Eight Guardians, aiding them in clearing out the Demon Beasts once.

Everyone realized the gravity of the situation, without a major sect, they would truly die.

The disdain from that day turned into stinging slaps on their faces today, burning with pain.

Conversely, the Xiao Yao Sect was also attacked by Demon Beasts, yet those Beasts couldn't even breach the Sect Protection Array, and casually dispatching a few disciples was enough to wipe them out.

Of course, these few disciples were Peng Dahai, Zhu Gu, and Daoist Qingfeng.

Their strength far surpassed these Demon Beasts, easily obliterating them.

The Xiao Yao Sect became the safest sect, yet simultaneously, they refused all newcomers.

Many sects that regretted not joining earlier aimed to continue joining, met with Master Qingxuan's refusal.

Everything today was their own doing, one couldn't join the Xiao Yao Sect just because they wanted to, they had been given a chance and didn't cherish it, can't blame anyone.

[The Xiao Yao Sect now only accepts Huaxia people, everyone else will be turned away]
