Chapter 1101 Clearing
"Pfft!"

Lu Xiaolu found his tense demeanor ridiculous; he seemed to be putting on a real act.

Chu Zhiyuan looked around warily and said, "Be careful."

Lu Xiaolu giggled and said, "Junior brother, you look so funny!"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "With a powerful demon watching from the side, how can you still have the mind to laugh, Senior Sister!"

"What powerful demon is there? If there really were, it would have made its move long ago!"

"He probably hesitated to make a move because he was wary of the treasures of the Fuyun Sect."

Lu Xiaolu laughed and said, "Treasures of the Fuyun Sect?"

“Otherwise, how could the senior brothers of Fuyun Sect have held on until now?” Chu Zhiyuan said.

Lu Xiaolu said, "But as far as I know, the Fuyun Sect doesn't seem to have any treasures."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Lu Xiaolu snorted and said, "Fine, even if there are treasures, we have treasures too, and your Heavenly Sword clone is here, so he wouldn't dare to come!"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "We still need to be careful and not underestimate the great demon."

"Alright." Lu Xiaolu turned to look behind her: "These demons haven't caught up."

She stopped and snorted, "Why didn't you chase after us?"

Chu Zhiyuan had already seen through the situation on the other side.

As soon as the signal was given, the demons went berserk, surging wave after wave towards the cave and crashing into the waterfall of sword light.

The sword light lingered, and despite the demons' relentless attacks, it showed no signs of collapse, remaining as stable as before.

Chu Zhiyuan was impressed by such resilience.

Of course, it's also related to the small size of the cave entrance. No matter how many demons there are, the area they can attack is only the cave entrance, which is about the height of a person.

In their anger, some of the demons attacked the stone wall next to the cave.

But the stone wall didn't even leave a mark under their attack.

This is a bit unusual.

He then asked Lu Xiaolu, "Are those demons so incompetent that they can't even break a stone?"
Lu Xiaolu said, "Then there must be some treasure protecting the mountain."

"What kind of treasure possesses such power?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.

What he lacks most right now is basic common sense about this world.

Or rather, the most basic common sense about spiritual practice and power in this world.

This needs to be properly supplemented.

Unfortunately, these demons are different from the Heavenly Demons of the Outer Heavens. They cannot retain their memories and souls, and therefore cannot return to the Demon Abyss. Consequently, they cannot be absorbed by the Haoyang Demon-Subduing Mirror and the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree.

Acquiring this basic knowledge of Biyuantian requires gradual accumulation step by step.

After returning to my clan, I need to study hard and immerse myself in books for a while to understand the astronomy, geography, and history of the entire Biyuan Heaven.

Lu Xiaolu said, "These kinds of treasures aren't really treasures. For example, the Thick Earth Pearl isn't that rare."

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly realized.

There was a layer of light inside the cave that enveloped the entire mountain peak, blocking out the super-sensory cave light.

There must be treasure, but we don't know what kind of treasure it is.

The Earth Bead alone has such power?

He suddenly drew his small sword.

The aura of the Heavenly Sword immediately spread out, causing the surrounding vegetation to bend low and the soil to surge backward.

Lu Xiaolu felt her hair stand on end.

Her bright eyes widened, she drew her sword and pointed it at the front of her: "A great demon has really come?"

The longsword emitted a golden light, so real that it seemed to increase the sword's length by a foot.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "I really want to test how sharp my Heavenly Sword is!"

"Then let's go for it!" Lu Xiaolu shouted. "Senior Sister and the others will be here soon."

The small sword in Chu Zhiyuan's hand began to twist, as if turning black.

The light surrounding the small sword was swallowed up, as if forming a small vortex that was absorbing power.

The sword was absorbing power while simultaneously unleashing its own might, distorting the surrounding light.

Lu Xiaolu wanted nothing more than to run away, feeling as if a great disaster was about to befall her.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Go back."

Lu Xiaolu didn't ask any more questions and headed straight towards the mountain wall.

The white silk ribbon tugged at him, like two wisps of smoke, moving incredibly fast.

The light emanating from Chu Zhiyuan was still distorted, and the small sword was shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see clearly.

The Little Heavenly Sword is already activated, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

Ten throwing knives shot out from his sleeves, heading towards the demons that were fiercely attacking the cave.

He could see that these demons were hot-blooded and emotionally charged, no longer caring about anything else, only wanting to break through the cave at all costs.

Without a powerful demon leader, these demons were indeed out of their minds. In this situation, they were caught off guard by the flying knives.

"what--!"

"who--!"

"what!"

Screams rang out one after another, shaking the heavens and the earth.

It was like a bucket of cold water poured over their boiling heads, leaving them momentarily stunned.

In that moment of surprise, golden flames erupted, and the ten demons were annihilated.

Then came the screams, accompanied by bursts of golden flames.

As Chu Zhiyuan activated his flying knife, the small sword in his hand grew darker and darker, and the surrounding void became increasingly distorted.

……

Inside the cave, ten of the thirteen youths were sitting cross-legged, practicing their internal energy to recover.

The cave was narrow, and the ten young people sat almost shoulder to shoulder, barely able to squeeze in.

The cave was just a shallow cave, only about five steps deep, barely enough to keep out the rain.

They were all pale and bloodless, haggard and a far cry from the spirited people they had been when they first met Qi Qingmei.

Three young men stood side by side, wielding their longswords and weaving a dense net of swords.

The sword net was like a waterfall, dense and impenetrable, yet their faces were pale and their breathing heavy.

Such a powerful sword technique is incredibly potent, but its energy consumption is equally astonishing.

The three young men who were sitting cross-legged suddenly opened their eyes, jumped up, and prepared to take over.

The three swordsmen's expressions changed slightly.

One of them was Li Xinhe, who said in a deep voice, "Wait a moment!"

His voice was deep and powerful, making the cave resonate.

The other young people who were adjusting their breathing all opened their eyes and looked over.

Li Xinhe said, "Something's not right outside, we've come to help!"

He saw Chu Zhiyuan and Lu Xiaolu appear, but he couldn't see them clearly.

The light around Chu Zhiyuan and Lu Xiaolu was distorted, and from a distance it looked like a dark mass, as if staring into an abyss, unable to see what was inside.

"Is she a junior sister from the Moon Palace?" another young man said while brandishing his sword. "That was a signal from the Moon Palace just now."

“It shouldn’t be from the Moon Palace,” Li Xinhe said. “The Moon Palace is strong, but not this strong.”

They stood in front of the cave and could see what was happening outside.

He was naturally familiar with the ways of the Moon Palace, and the pitch-black area in front of him could not possibly be the Moon Palace.

Just then, screams rang out, followed by bursts of golden flames that annihilated the demons.

Li Xinhe immediately perked up: "Amazing!"

"What method is this?"

The two men beside him, while brandishing their swords, exclaimed in astonishment, "This is too bizarre!"

Li Xinhe shook his head.

Another young man exclaimed, "It's neither from the Guanghan Palace nor the Heavenly Sword Sect; I've never heard of such a thing!"

Li Xinhe said, "These demons will soon be finished!"

"Good riddance!" the third youth said bitterly. "These guys all deserve to die!"

"That's too fast!" another young man exclaimed.

The throwing knives appeared and disappeared intermittently, and wherever they passed, these demons had almost no way to dodge them. Palm strikes, fist strikes, and sword strikes could not hit the throwing knives.

When these palm strikes, fist strikes, and sword strikes hit the flying knife, they found it was just an illusion.

What seemed like an illusion turned out to be a real flying knife.

This is the way of illusion and reality.

Except for those fast-moving demons who have a chance to dodge, other demons almost have no chance of escaping.

In a short while, all the demons scattered. Those with good lightness skills fled, while those with poor lightness skills also fled desperately.

There were no more demons in front of the cave.

Li Xinhe and the other two stopped their swords, leaned on them, and looked at the situation outside the cave.

A dark shadow stood motionless on a blue stone in the distance.

This intrigued them greatly, leaving them wondering why.

Li Xinhe didn't rush out. Instead, he and his companions stood inside the cave, looking around to assess the situation.

They saw ten slender figures shoot over from a distance, stopping above the head of the dark figure. These were ten crystal-clear throwing knives, which then merged into the dark figure.

Lu Xiaolu lowered her voice: "That great demon hasn't left yet?"

"No." Chu Zhiyuan's small sword trembled slightly, as if it might slip out of his hand at any moment.
