Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

There is still a significant difference in strength between the Azure Lion Demon King and the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King. Lu Cheng'an's Tranquil Ancient Seal could only affect the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King for a half-second, but it had a full-second effect on the Azure Lion Demon King.

After Lu Cheng'an finished using the Ancient Seal of Tranquility, the power of the Ancient Seal of Tranquility used by True Monarch Sui Gu and True Monarch Ku Shi also fell on the Azure Lion Demon King.

Most importantly, Qiongmiao Zhenjun's ferocious attack followed closely behind. In just a few breaths, the Azure Lion Demon King, a late-stage fourth-order demon beast, was killed by the combined efforts of Lu Cheng'an and the other three.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an and his companions could no longer deal with the corpses of the Azure Lion Demon King and the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King. They began to attack the demon beasts below the fourth rank.

The demonic beasts below the fourth rank in Juyuan City hadn't yet realized what had happened. They couldn't believe that the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King and the Azure Lion Demon King had been killed by the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ancient Desolate Sect.

But they had no time to think after that; they began to flee for their lives in a frantic escape.

Lu Cheng'an summoned the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell, and a muffled sound rang out. The sound of the bell was like layers of waves crashing towards the bodies of the demonic beasts in Juyuan City.

The first and second-tier demonic beasts were instantly killed by the violent power contained within the bell after being struck by it.

Those early to mid-stage third-tier demonic beasts were also killed by the power of the bell after holding on for a while.

Only a few late-stage and perfect-stage third-order demonic beasts survived the bell's toll after exerting all their strength.

At the same time, the three True Monarchs Qiongmiao also made their moves, and like Lu Cheng'an, they all used wide-range attack methods.

However, in a short while, all the monsters below the fourth rank in Juyuan City were killed by Lu Cheng'an and his three companions.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, the Linggu Sect and the Baiqi Sect are currently under attack from demonic beasts such as the Silver Wolf and the Iron Bear. We must go to rescue these Golden Core sects immediately. You and Junior Brother Liu should be able to go to the Linggu Sect to provide support, right?” True Monarch Qiongmiao said quickly.

The Silver Wolf Demon King's cultivation level was at the early stage of the fourth rank, and he led his demon beasts to attack the Spirit Gu Sect.

The Linggu Sect was not weak, but it did not withstand the attack of the Silver Wolf Demon King for long before its protective formation was breached.

However, there is a secret realm within the Linggu Sect's mountain gate, and Liu Miaozhen and others are currently leading the sect's cultivators to hide within it.

The entrance to the Spirit Gu Sect's secret realm has not yet been revealed. Once the Silver Wolf Demon King finds the entrance, the Spirit Gu Sect cultivators, including Liu Miaozhen, who have hidden inside, will have no chance of survival.

The first target of the Iron Bear Demon King's demonic beasts was the Yunhua Sect. The Yunhua Sect was the most powerful Golden Core sect within the Ancient Desolate Sect, with more than two Golden Core cultivators in its ranks.

However, the Iron Bear Demon King's cultivation level was at the mid-stage of the fourth rank. Even though the Yunhua Sect was quite powerful, without a Nascent Soul cultivator to guard it, the Yunhua Sect could not withstand the Iron Bear Demon King and other demonic beasts for too long.

After the Yunhua Sect's mountain gate was breached by the Iron Bear Demon King and other demonic beasts, the entire sect was slaughtered by the Iron Bear Demon King and other demonic beasts, and all the cultivators at the Golden Core realm died.

The Yunhua Sect, with a history spanning over a thousand years, was thus destroyed by a demon beast.

After leading his demon beasts to plunder the Yunhua Sect's millennia-long accumulation, the Iron Bear Demon King led his demon beasts away from the Yunhua Sect in a grand procession, continuing his journey towards the Hundred Weapons Sect.

The strength of the Hundred Weapons Sect is far inferior to that of the Cloud Flower Sect. If the Iron Bear Demon King were to lead his demonic beasts to the Hundred Weapons Sect, it would probably not take long for them to be destroyed.

"I have no problem, I'll follow Fellow Daoist He's instructions!" Lu Cheng'an said quickly.

Qiongmiao Zhenjun nodded slightly. Because of the urgency of the situation, after making arrangements with Lu Cheng'an, she led Kushi Zhenjun and sped off towards the direction of Baiqimen.

Lu Cheng'an and Sui Gu Zhenjun sped towards the Ling Gu Sect together.

Their location was closer to the Linggu Sect, about three thousand miles apart.

Lu Cheng'an and Sui Gu Zhenjun traveled at high speed and arrived at the Ling Gu Sect in a short time.

When Lu Cheng'an and his companion arrived at the Spirit Gu Sect, the Silver Wolf Demon King finally found the entrance to the Spirit Gu Sect's secret realm.

The Silver Wolf Demon King waved his hand, and a blue claw shadow materialized, which fiercely grabbed down at the entrance of the Spirit Gu Sect's secret realm.

With a loud cracking sound, the secret realm space of the Spirit Gu Sect began to shatter rapidly.

"You'd better get out here obediently, or once this secret realm is destroyed, you probably won't even have a complete corpse left!" The Silver Wolf Demon King sneered.

His attack just now controlled some of its power, and did not directly shatter the space of this small secret realm.

However, this secret realm cannot last long; at most, it will only last for two quarters of an hour before the entire space completely shatters.

Once the secret realm space is shattered, the resulting power will be extremely terrifying. Even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage would be very likely to have their body torn apart by the spatial fragments if they were in such an environment.

In such an environment, the cultivators of the Spirit Gu Sect had even less chance of survival.

"Sect Master, what should we do? Should we continue to stay in the secret realm?"

"Those demonic beasts are definitely up to no good. If we leave the secret realm, they will probably kill and eat us immediately!"

…………

Inside the secret realm, the Linggu Sect cultivators felt extreme fear upon sensing the impending shattering of the space.

However, they dared not leave the soon-to-be-shattered secret realm, because they knew very well what they would encounter if they left.

Liu Miaozhen's face was full of pain; she simply couldn't make a decision.

Just as she was struggling with her decision, she suddenly heard a familiar voice enter her ears.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, quickly lead your Spirit Gu Sect cultivators out of the secret realm!"

After arriving at the Linggu Sect, Lu Cheng'an and Suigu Zhenjun quickly ascertained the sect's current situation.

Upon sensing the impending collapse of the Spirit Gu Sect's secret realm, Lu Cheng'an immediately instructed Liu Miaozhen to lead the sect's cultivators out of the realm.

At the same time, he and Sui Gu Zhenjun launched a simultaneous attack on the Silver Wolf Demon King.

"Nascent Soul cultivators from the Ancient Desolate Sect, how dare you show yourselves here!"

Upon seeing Lu Cheng'an and Sui Gu Zhenjun, the Silver Wolf Demon King's expression suddenly changed.

He knew that True Monarch Suigu's cultivation was at the mid-Nascent Soul stage and that his strength was extremely formidable; he was no match for True Monarch Suigu at all.

Moreover, with a Nascent Soul cultivator now accompanying True Monarch Suigu, he was even less of a match. The Silver Wolf Demon King acted swiftly. Although he didn't know the specifics of what had happened, he knew his first priority was to escape.

Unfortunately, just as he made a move, Lu Cheng'an's power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal descended upon the Silver Wolf Demon King.

The Silver Wolf Demon King's strength was significantly weaker than Lu Cheng'an's, so the Ancient Seal of the Year had a greater impact on the Silver Wolf Demon King, keeping him in a state of stillness for three breaths.

After Lu Cheng'an made his move, Sui Gu Zhenjun also made his move at the same time. He did not activate the Jing Gu Seal again, but instead used a divine power called the Heavenly River Palm.

This divine power is extremely fierce, and True Monarch Suigu cultivated it to perfection.

The Silver Wolf Demon King was affected by the power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal and was still in a static state. He was unable to react at all to the powerful attack of the Ancient Lord Sui Gu and could only let the power of the Heavenly River Palm bombard his body.

With a deafening roar, the Heavenly River Palm slammed into the Silver Wolf Demon King's chest, unleashing a torrent of violent power that shattered the Silver Wolf Demon King's heart.

The Silver Wolf Demon King was also extremely decisive, directly abandoning his physical body in an attempt to escape using the power of the demon infant.

Unfortunately, just as his demonic infant separated from his physical body, he felt an extremely terrifying power descend upon it.

Before the Silver Wolf Demon King's demon infant could react to what was happening, his demon infant was suppressed by Lu Cheng'an and put into a specially made jade bottle.

The bodies and infants of fourth-order demonic beasts contain extremely abundant energy. The inheritances left by the Burning Flame Sect and the Divine Jade Sect both contain methods for utilizing the bodies and infants of fourth-order demonic beasts.

Demonic infants can be used to refine a kind of pill called the Infant Spirit Pill. After a Nascent Soul cultivator takes the Infant Spirit Pill, he can quickly enhance the power of his Nascent Soul.

After Lu Cheng'an and Sui Gu Zhenjun killed the Silver Wolf Demon King in an instant, the demon beasts below the fourth rank began to flee in a frenzy.

However, Lu Cheng'an and Sui Gu Zhenjun would not let these demonic beasts escape. They each used their own methods and quickly annihilated those demonic beasts below the fourth rank.

During this time, Liu Miaozhen, following Lu Cheng'an's instructions, led the sect's cultivators to escape from the secret realm.

"On behalf of the entire Linggu Sect, Liu Miaozhen expresses her deepest gratitude to the two seniors for saving her life!"

After watching Lu Cheng'an and his companion kill all the demonic beasts, Liu Miaozhen immediately led the Linggu Sect members to bow to Lu Cheng'an and his companion to express their gratitude.

"Sect Leader Liu, there's no need for such formalities. All the demonic beasts that entered the territory of my Ancient Desolate Sect have now been wiped out, so you no longer need to worry!"

After reassuring the Linggu Sect cultivators, Suigu Zhenjun and Lu Cheng'an each collected a portion of the corpses of third-tier demonic beasts and then swiftly left the Linggu Sect, heading towards the direction of the Huanggu Sect.

Sui Gu Zhenjun has received a message from Ku Shi Zhenjun. Qiong Miao Zhenjun and the other two have now wiped out the Iron Bear Demon King and other demonic beasts, and they are currently on their way back to the Desolate Ancient Sect.

Ku Shi Zhenjun also conveyed Qiong Miao Zhenjun's message, instructing Lu Cheng'an and Sui Gu Zhenjun to return to the Huang Gu Sect immediately after dealing with the Silver Wolf Demon King and other demonic beasts.

Although they have now wiped out the demonic beasts attacking the Ancient Desolate Sect and temporarily resolved the sect's crisis, this is only temporary.

The situation in the cultivation world of Hezhou is extremely bad right now, and Medicine Immortal Valley may be destroyed by the Sacred Heart Sect at any time.

Once the Medicine Immortal Valley is destroyed, the Sacred Heart Sect will be able to gradually devour the cultivation world of Hezhou.

The situation in their Qingzhou cultivation world is not optimistic either; the most powerful demon king in the Hong'e Mountains is the Butterfly Transformation Demon King.

If the Butterfly Demon King cannot be killed, the crisis in the Qingzhou cultivation world will never be resolved.

The reason why True Monarch Qiongmiao is so eager to have Lu Cheng'an and True Monarch Suigu return to the sect is that he wants to discuss the follow-up matters with them.

After learning of Qiongmiao Zhenjun's meaning, Suigu Zhenjun rushed back to Huanggu Sect.

Not long after, Lu Cheng'an appeared in the cave of True Monarch Qiongmiao, where the four Nascent Soul cultivators of the Desolate Ancient Sect were also present.

"I just received messages from the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Purple Sun Sect, the Medicine Immortal Valley, and other sects. The cultivators from the Sacred Heart Sect who are attacking the Medicine Immortal Valley are about to break through the mountain gate. They have given the Medicine Immortal Valley a day to consider surrendering to the Sacred Heart Sect."

The face of True Monarch Qiongmiao was full of solemnity. The Nascent Soul cultivators from Medicine Immortal Valley had clearly expressed their meaning.

If Medicine Immortal Valley does not receive aid from other cultivation sects within a day, then Medicine Immortal Valley will agree to the conditions of Sacred Heart Sect and obey their orders. They might even launch a counterattack against the cultivation sects of Purple Sun Sect.

The situation of Nascent Soul sects such as Ziyang Sect and Xuanjing Sect is not much better than that of Yaoxian Valley. Let alone supporting Yaoxian Valley, they themselves do not know how much longer they can hold on.

“Currently, only our Ancient Desolate Sect can spare manpower to support Medicine Immortal Valley. I plan to take Junior Brother Liu and Fellow Daoist Lu to Medicine Immortal Valley. What do you think, Junior Brother Liu and Fellow Daoist Lu?” True Monarch Qiongmiao asked in a deep voice.

Qiongmiao Zhenjun sensed the power released by Lu Chengan and Suigu Zhenjun using the Jinggu Seal.

Although Lu Cheng'an's cultivation level was one realm lower than that of Sui Gu Zhenjun, the power of the Jing Gu Seal he used was even stronger than that of Sui Gu Zhenjun.

Qiongmiao Zhenjun was well aware of her own strength. She was able to kill the three-headed Fiery Python Demon King, who was at the fourth-order perfect realm, not only because of the power of the two fourth-order top-grade Thunder Talismans, but also mainly because Lu Chengan and Suigu Zhenjun used the Jinggu Seal.

The Nascent Soul cultivators from the Sacred Heart Sect who attacked Medicine Immortal Valley were not particularly powerful; their leader was the Ice Scythe True Monarch, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Ice Scythe True Lord cultivates ice-attribute techniques, and his combat power is extremely terrifying.

Although the Elder of Ten Thousand Medicines in Medicine Immortal Valley also possesses the cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage, he is not skilled in combat.

The protective formation of Medicine Immortal Valley has not yet been broken. Once the protective formation is broken, if Elder Wanyao and True Monarch Binglian were to fight, they probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

It is precisely for this reason that Medicine Immortal Valley sends such messages to Nascent Soul sects like the Ancient Desolate Sect.

Once the gates of Medicine Immortal Valley are breached, they will directly surrender to the Sacred Heart Sect.

Qiongmiao Zhenjun was well aware of Binglian Zhenjun's strength. Although her cultivation had now broken through to the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm, it was simply impossible for her to kill Binglian Zhenjun.

After all, Ice Scythe True Monarch came from the Sacred Heart Sect, and he was very different from the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King. He had many more trump cards to protect himself than the Three-Headed Flame Python Demon King.

However, if Lu Cheng'an and Sui Gu Zhenjun were to be brought along, the situation would be very different.

If Lu Cheng'an and Sui Gu Zhenjun simultaneously unleash the Jing Gu Seal, there is a high probability that it will create an opportunity for Qiong Miao Zhenjun to deliver a fatal blow.

True Monarch Qiongmiao had considered that True Monarch Binglian might have a way to resist the power of the Jinggu Seal, but the possibility was extremely small. (End of Chapter)
