Chapter 6: Completely Safe, Ulterior Motives

A series of demonic energies that blotted out the sky suddenly appeared in the trembling void, striking at Mo Xuanli and the others like lightning.

Within the demonic energy, gigantic and ferocious demonic beasts roared, cold, gleaming swords clashed, and it seemed as if an endless hell was hidden within, with evil ghosts devouring souls.

Behind the demonic energy, the figures of the Thousand Desire Demon Emperor and the others flickered in and out of view.

“Nine Nether Demon Slayer Formation!”

Mo Xuanli’s expression turned serious, and the pressure of an Emperor Realm expert erupted from him. He then formed a sword with his fingers.

He slashed towards the incoming demonic energy.

A sword Qi several hundred feet in size condensed with his movement, fiercely slashing towards the demonic energy.

“Whoosh!”

The sword Qi struck the demonic energy, instantly splitting it in two. However, the demonic energy did not dissipate.

Instead, it divided into two parts, engulfing Mo Xuanli and the other five.

“Hm?”

Seeing this, the other five Emperor Realm experts immediately took action. In an instant, sword Qi crisscrossed the void, and extremely powerful energies collided continuously.

This battle caused cracks to appear in the void, as if it were the end of the world.

Occasionally, stray shockwaves landed on the distant ground, creating bottomless craters.

However, even such a battle did not affect the people of the Lingxiao Sect within the formation in the slightest.

“Just now, that was Sword Master Mo of the Xuantian Sword Sect, Demon Slayer Emperor of the Demon Slaying Alliance, and Purple Extreme Heavenly Emperor of the Purple Heaven Sect…”

“The six sects have finally come to our aid, we are completely safe!”

“…”

Within the formation, the crowd couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

“Stay within the formation, do not act rashly!”

At this moment, Yin Yanran stood up and left behind a sentence.

Her graceful figure then trembled slightly and disappeared from within the formation.

In the next moment, Yin Yanran appeared in the void, joining the battle.

“Damn, this battle scene is too exaggerated!”

Ye Lang looked up at the battle in the sky and clicked his tongue.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel fortunate in his heart.

It was fortunate that Her Majesty the Empress was kind!

Otherwise, if it were any other Emperor Realm expert, he would have been slapped to death for his disrespectful actions.

At this time, in the sky, with Yin Yanran joining the fight, the seven Emperor Realm experts joined forces and soon broke the Nine Nether Demon Slayer Formation.

“Jie Jie, Mo Xuanli, don’t be complacent!”

“This attack on the Lingxiao Sect is just the prelude. You so-called righteous path, just wait!”

“The Qingtian Domain will eventually belong to us!”

The moment the demonic energy dissipated, an extremely gloomy voice echoed in the void, but no one could be seen.

“Arrogant! Sword Master Mo, why aren’t you pursuing them?”

In the void, the leader of the Town Killing Alliance, Demon Slayer Emperor, said with anger.

“Forget it, it seems they had planned this long ago. The other demonic cultivators must have already retreated. We can’t stop them!”

Mo Xuanli shook his head, stopping him.

He then turned to Yin Yanran and said, “Sect Master Yin, we have arrived late!”

His divine sense swept across the entire Lingxiao Sect, and he couldn’t help but sigh slightly in his heart.

After this tribulation, the Lingxiao Sect suffered heavy casualties and would probably take several hundred years to recover its essence.

Yin Yanran’s expression darkened upon hearing this. She shook her head and said:

“Sword Master Mo, you are too kind. If it weren’t for your support, I’m afraid my Lingxiao Sect would have been completely annihilated this time!”

“We have always been united, Sect Master Yin, you are too polite!”

“Exactly, exactly!”

“…”

Several Emperor Realm experts from various sects quickly responded, but one of them frowned slightly.

He looked down at the Lingxiao Sect, his eyes shifting slightly.

This person was the Sect Master of the Purple Heaven Sect, Purple Extreme Heavenly Emperor Zhang Shidao.

At this time, several Emperor Realm experts also descended from the sky. Yin Yanran formed a hand seal and withdrew the formation.

Half a day passed, and the other reinforcements from various sects arrived at the Lingxiao Sect. Looking at the Lingxiao Sect, which was now in ruins, they all remained silent.

The Lingxiao Sect, along with their sects, were one of the seven righteous sects. However, seeing it reduced to such a state after the demonic cultivators’ attack made them feel a sense of dread.

They all made up their minds to cultivate diligently after returning and eliminate the demonic cultivators as soon as possible.

This was also the reason why several Emperor Realm experts did not allow them to return halfway even though they knew that the demonic cultivators had completely retreated.

At this time, on the relatively intact martial arts field of the Lingxiao Sect, the disciples of various sects gathered. Not far away, under the isolation of a barrier, several Emperor Realm experts were discussing matters.

“Sect Master Yin, are you saying that the reason why the demonic cultivators were able to launch such a sudden attack this time was because there was a demonic cultivator spy in the sect?”

“Yes, it was that spy who took the opportunity to injure the guards of the mountain protection formation and colluded with the demonic cultivators. Otherwise, the Lingxiao Sect would not have suffered such heavy losses!”

Inside the barrier, Yin Yanran revealed news that shocked the other Emperor Realm experts.

“So that’s how it is. This demonic cultivator’s idea coincides with mine!”

“Everyone, there will inevitably be a great war between the righteous and the demonic sects!”

“One month later, it will be the seven sects martial competition. At that time, everyone will come to my Sword Sect, and we will discuss in detail how to counterattack the demonic cultivators!”

Mo Xuanli nodded slightly and said in a deep voice.

The other six nodded upon hearing this, although they were slightly curious.

Everything would be discussed after one month.

After discussing these matters, the seven emperors withdrew the barrier, came to where their respective sects had gathered, and were about to leave.

“Wait!”

However, at this moment, Zhang Shidao, who had been silent, waved his hand slightly and spoke.

“Sect Master Yin, after this tribulation, the Lingxiao Sect has been destroyed, and only a few hundred people remain. It exists in name only!”

“This Emperor wants to invite Sect Master Yin to join my Purple Heaven Sect and serve as the Chief Elder!”

“In addition, the remaining Lingxiao Sect disciples will also join my Purple Heaven Sect. This Emperor believes that in the current situation, they will receive better training if they join the Purple Heaven Sect!”

As Zhang Shidao spoke, his eyes were slightly fervent.

Although the Lingxiao Sect suffered extremely heavy losses this time, its secret realm was intact, and its foundation was still there.

Moreover, it was said that Yin Yanran had a mysterious origin and was suspected to be from a holy clan, possessing some secret techniques that even Emperor Realm experts longed for…

If he could incorporate all of these into the Purple Heaven Sect for his own use, given time, he might be able to break through the bottleneck!

Zhang Shidao fantasized in his heart.

At this moment, after Zhang Shidao finished speaking, there was an uproar on the battlefield.

Mo Xuanli and the other Emperor Realm experts also looked at each other with different expressions.

The faces of the Lingxiao Sect members were all somewhat unsightly.

What did joining the Purple Heaven Sect mean?

It meant that the Lingxiao Sect would cease to exist, and it meant that they would have to live under another’s roof, like stray dogs.

Moreover, with Her Majesty the Empress still around and the secret realm intact, the sect would definitely reopen its doors to recruit disciples. At that time, they would be the most senior group of people.

How could they be willing to go to the Purple Heaven Sect and be ostracized?

However, Zhang Shidao was an Emperor Realm expert, and they were not qualified to speak.

On the other side, Yin Yanran’s face was also somewhat displeased. Not to mention, she vaguely guessed Zhang Shidao’s true intentions.

Just based on the promise she made to the previous Sect Master when she joined the Lingxiao Sect, she would not agree to Zhang Shidao’s request.

However, Zhang Shidao had just helped the Lingxiao Sect, and she hadn’t figured out how to refuse him yet.

But at this moment, a somewhat unruly voice rang out:

“Senior, whether the Lingxiao Sect exists in name only or not is yet to be seen!”

“Senior said that we would receive better training if we joined the Purple Heaven Sect. This junior really cannot agree with that!”
