Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

The night in Zi Yang Sect was long and quiet, but as the curtain of the sect protection formation silently dissipated, everything changed.

Under the horrified gazes of the Foundation Establishment monks who were patrolling everywhere, the Lingyun Sect monks rushed in, magic weapons were flying, flames were rising, waves were surging, trees were lush, thunder was rolling, and the dark night sky was illuminated.

The monks of Zi Yang Sect fought back but were soon defeated.

Xie Chaohong, Qin Xuan and Li Haoyang, three elders in the late Jindan stage, are the backbone of Ziyang Sect, but they have never appeared.

Even those cultivators in the middle stage of Jindan disappeared without a trace.

Some people came to Zi Yang Peak and stumbled into the Patriarch's Hall, but could only see the majestic jade statue of Zi Yang Zhenren.

The cushion under the altar was placed there alone, and Xie Chaohong and Zixu Jian were nowhere to be seen.

The elite disciples summoned by Li Haoyang scattered and fled in all directions, avoiding the pursuit of the Lingyun Sect monks.

Half an hour ago, Li Haoyang received a sound transmission note. His face suddenly changed, he stood up and left, and never came back.

Although there were still more than ten Jindan cultivators leading their disciples to resist, their cultivation was at most at the early Jindan stage.

The Zi Yang Sect was leaderless, and no one was a match for Jin Luoheng and Zhuge Qi. They were defeated one after another, with casualties everywhere.

The monks of Lingyun Sect attacked without mercy, just like they had done in the past few years.

The Zi Yang Sect has been rampant in the Qi State's immortal cultivation world and has accumulated too much hatred with the Ling Yun Sect. Today is finally the time for reckoning.

The Zi Yang Sect had a profound foundation, and the number of its foundation-building cultivators was twice as many as that of the Ling Yun Sect. However, the sudden disappearance of the sect's protective formation and the defeat of the Jin Dan elders caused everyone to collapse, and they only wanted to escape.

The most important thing is that everyone knows that Lingyun Sect has Nascent Soul cultivators, but Ziyang Sect does not.

Although Chen Yuan has not shown up, it is difficult for people to have the will to resist as long as they remember that he once cut off Taoist Du Kun's arm.

At times like these, cultivators are more vulnerable than mortals and are more afraid of death.

The Qi-refining disciples also fled in all directions, but some monks from the Lingyun Sect specifically intercepted and killed them, ordering them to stay in the cave and not go out.

Some people disobeyed the ban, but the monks of Lingyun Sect acted ruthlessly. After hundreds of Qi Refining disciples died, the remaining disciples of Ziyang Sect finally became scared.

Under the cold gaze of the Lingyun sect monks, they returned to the cave, anxiously waiting for the dawn.

But some people still escaped. The Ziyang Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, and the monks of Lingyun Sect are not familiar with it, so it is inevitable that some people will slip through the net.

But only a few people managed to escape successfully. When the sun rose in the east, Zi Yang Sect had returned to peace.

After a night of fierce fighting, this paradise on earth has become a devastated place.

The dilapidated hall, the collapsed attic, the forest burned to ashes, the mountain peaks flattened by flying swords, everywhere there are traces of the raging ice and thunder.

Rays of light flashed across the sky, and the monks of Lingyun Sect patrolled everywhere tirelessly, sweeping the earth inch by inch with their spiritual senses, looking for any fish that had escaped the net and also on guard against anyone sneaking away.

At the top of Zi Yang Peak, in the Patriarch Hall, the jade statue of Zi Yang Zhenren still stood on the high platform, his face majestic, overlooking the majestic hall.

Below the jade statue, Jin Luoheng, Zhuge Qi and other Jindan-level cultivators of the Lingyun sect gathered together. Occasionally, they looked towards the jade statue with eyes full of disdain and sneers.

Next to the crowd, there were more than a dozen corpses, and the smell of blood was strong.

"Senior Brother Zhuge, Han Zhao tried to escape last night, but was intercepted by Senior Brother Wu and I..."

One of them pointed at the corpse on the ground, smiled, and told the story.

These were the Jindan elders of Ziyang Sect, who were killed by everyone and presented in front of the two men.

Zhuge Qi nodded slightly, and Jin Luoheng just watched from the side without saying a word.

Suddenly, two monks walked into the hall. Everyone turned around and looked. Chen Yuan walked over, followed by Dai Qing.

Except for Jin Luoheng, everyone hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Grand Elder!"

Chen Yuan nodded slightly and stopped in front of the jade statue.

Dai Qing stopped behind him with a respectful look. Except for Zhuge Qi, Jin Luoheng, and Wu Zexian, everyone else looked over with doubtful eyes.

Chen Yuan has already issued an order to kill all the Jindan elders of Zi Yang Sect without mercy, leaving no one alive.

Dai Qing is very famous in Qi State and everyone knows him, so why is he following Chen Yuan?

But no one questioned it. After this battle, their respect for Chen Yuan even surpassed that of Xuan Yuanzi.

Even Zhuge Qi had temporarily put Xuan Yuanzi's death behind him and was wholeheartedly convinced and prostrating himself to Chen Yuan.

They all thought that this time they would have to go through a tough battle, and even many people would have to die, before they could possibly destroy the Zi Yang Sect.

The reputation of the Zixu Sword is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the Ziyang Sect's protective formation is considered the best in Qi State and has never been broken by anyone.

But Chen Yuan entered Zi Yang Sect without anyone noticing, and they didn't even know what means Chen Yuan used.

When the protective formation collapsed and everyone rushed into the Zi Yang Sect's mountain gate, there were only a dozen or so Jindan early stage cultivators leading the foundation building disciples to resist.

They won the victory with almost no effort, making the Qi State's largest clan, which had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, a thing of the past.

In their hearts, Chen Yuan's prestige is comparable to that of the founder of the sect, Ling Yunzi.

Chen Yuan stared at the jade statue, and suddenly he put his fingers together and drew a line. A golden light flashed, and a golden blade flew out, cutting the jade statue in half. The statue rolled down from the high platform and broke into pieces.

The densely packed spirit tablets around were all broken in two.

Although this jade statue is made of century-old jade, it is not hard and does not have the slightest magical power.

The monks of Zi Yang Sect probably never thought that the mountain gate would be captured one day and the jade statue would be destroyed.

Chen Yuan turned around and pointed at Dai Qing: "Daoyou Dai has abandoned the dark and joined the light. Last night, he personally killed three elders of Ziyang Sect and made great contributions. From now on, he will be a guest elder of our sect."

Dai Qing smiled slightly, clasped his fists and bowed: "Dai is honored."

Everyone looked surprised, and many even had a hint of disgust in their eyes, but they all bowed in return.

No one looks down on people who betray their teachers and ancestors, even if Dai Qing joined the Lingyun Sect.

But in front of Chen Yuan, no one dared to show it.

Chen Yuan added: "The Ziyang Sect has been destroyed. The Law Enforcement Pavilion will carefully calculate the merits of the elders and reward them accordingly."

"But the mines in Ziyang Market and Lingdang Mountain are still there. Elder Zhuge, I want you to lead the three elders to Ziyang Market and do not let Chen Xuanli escape."

"Master, please lead the three elders to Lingdang Mountain to eliminate Liu Guangxian."

Zhuge Qi responded solemnly: "I will leave right away."

Jin Luoheng nodded slightly, and the two of them each found three familiar elders and walked out of the hall.

There is a medium-sized spirit stone vein in Lingdang Mountain, which is exclusively owned by Ziyang Sect and has a huge output. Like Ziyang Market, it is manned by people in the late stage of Jindan.

The mountain gate of Zi Yang Sect was breached and some cultivators escaped. In order to prevent the two from escaping, we must not waste any time.

After the two left, Chen Yuan looked at Feng Ziyu and said, "Elder Feng, go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and tell Fellow Daoist Shen and Fellow Daoist Bai about the destruction of the Ziyang Sect."

Feng Ziyu took the order and left. Chen Yuan then instructed the remaining Jindan cultivators: "I will stay in this hall. You lead the disciples of our sect and gather all the disciples of Ziyang Sect in one place. Don't leave anyone out, but don't kill them rashly. If there are any doubts, Elder Wu will always report to you."

"Yes."

"I will obey the orders of the Supreme Elder!"

Everyone agreed and turned to leave the hall. Dai Qing followed Wu Zexian, looking very humble.

After everyone left, Chen Yuan took out a mustard seed ring and several storage bags, and flicked his sleeves. Many things appeared out of thin air in front of him, full of spiritual energy and colorful light. (End of this chapter)
