I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 280 Joining Hands to Slay the Demon (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
After another half day of fussing, through exchanges and promises, the group was satisfied with the division of spoils and each got what they wanted.

Jiang Yi led everyone back to where she and Luo Qingsi had come in, and left using the main entrance key and password.

As soon as Jiang Yi stepped out, before her feet had even touched the ground properly, a silver whip lashed out, wrapped around her waist, and pulled her over to meet her master's anxious and worried face.

“Master.” Jiang Yi grinned.

Danxi scanned Jiang Yi's entire body with her divine sense, and then checked Zhao Cangyun and the others in the distance. Seeing that they were all unharmed, she was relieved.

Danxi poked Jiang Yi on the forehead with a finger. "Do you know what chaos has ensued outside because of you? Rumors are spreading that I've sided with the Demon Clan! You're going straight back to your sect. You're not allowed to leave Liuyue Peak until I've dealt with things outside! The rest of you are the same; go back to your sects and stay there!"

Danxi is currently the only person at the altar. After she repaired the foundation stone of the secret realm array and entered, she was the first to discover the word left by Hongli. After erasing it, she used some illusions to mislead the others, making them think that Jiang Yi and the others were elsewhere.

Whether they slander Jiang Yi as a demon or spread rumors that Jiang Yi and his group found the Kundao Palace, it will be very detrimental to them.

"Wait a moment, Master, let me say a few words, just a few words."

Jiang Yi quickly told Danxi about the situation in the Kun Dao Palace. Both the Breath Soil and the Heavenly Ruler were precious treasures, and it was best not to let too many people know about them.

When the benefits are great enough, someone will inevitably disregard the life and death of the entire Northern Xuan and take the Zhangtian Ruler and the Breath Soil to flee to the Eastern Continent. Whether the Northern Xuan is destroyed or not is irrelevant.

Fortunately, Jiang Yi had the key to the main entrance to Kun Dao Palace, and she handed the tortoise shell directly to Dan Xi.

"The seal inside Kundao Palace is not in too much trouble for the time being, but I estimate that the seals in other places are severely damaged and must be found and repaired as soon as possible."

Danxi raised an eyebrow, holding the tortoise shell. "Are you sure that besides the Heavenly Ruler and the Breath Soil, there's nothing else in the Kundao Palace?"

"Absolutely not!" Jiang Yiyi said firmly.

Danxi squinted and glanced at the others. Shen Puning quickly pulled Xin Wushuang away and pretended to whisper something. Liu Taozhi shook her head innocently.

Zhao Cangyun put his hands on his hips and said, "There's nothing there."

Luo Qingsi nodded seriously, "Yes, there's no underground palace, and there's nothing in the sand either. I've sifted through it all; it's spotless!"

Danxi chuckled without saying a word. Even a good girl like Liu Taozhi has been corrupted. If she didn't know that Jiang Yi would be thorough in his work and give her a satisfactory explanation, she would definitely have picked them all up by the legs and shaken them.

"Let's go, I'll personally see you out, and I'll settle the score with you later."

"Master, aren't you going to check on the Kun Dao Palace?"

"I still have something to do."

Danxi helped the group conceal their presence and aura, and successfully escorted them out of the Golden Zhengyuan Secret Realm. Outside the secret realm, they encountered Xia Yangming and Zhu Mingzong, along with two other Nascent Soul True Monarchs, who were eyeing them with suspicion and hostility.

They were terrified that Danxi would find Kundao Palace and take everything away. Fortunately, Danxi was quick-witted and had a knack for turning the tables. With just a few words, she made Xia Yangming dare not force her and had no choice but to let her go.

Danxi didn't enter Flint City, but went straight to the teleportation array outside Yellow Sand City. She watched as Jiang Yi and the others teleported back to their respective sect territories. Luo Qingsi even asked Jiang Yi why he didn't return to Xuan Ying Sword Sect, wondering if he was going to the underworld again, but Liu Taozhi forcibly dragged him away.

……

Baizang Valley is located in the area.

Under the cover of night, Tianya City resembles a ghostly realm soaked in blood.

The blood moon hung high, its crimson halo enveloping the surrounding area. The city walls had long since collapsed, and dark red blood streaks crawled all over the ruins, writhing like living creatures.

Above the sky, four Nascent Soul cultivators stood in mid-air, each forming hand seals. The demon-sealing formation they jointly set up firmly sealed off Tianya City, preventing the demonic energy from leaking out and harming all living beings.

Runes flowed across the golden light shield, resembling an inverted giant bowl, severing the connection between the city and the outside world.

Three of the Nascent Soul cultivators came from Bai Zang Valley, while the other female cultivator was surrounded by silver mist insects; she was none other than Shang Shixu's master, the True Lord Long Ri.

Inside the city, the corpses of low-level Qi Refining cultivators lay scattered about, their flesh and blood already withered, black bone spurs protruding from under their skin, turning them into walking corpses, wandering the streets and emitting mournful howls.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators formed a battle formation back to back, their faces pale and their true essence almost exhausted, yet they still could not stop the endless stream of demons.

The Core Formation cultivators wanted to escape by flying through the air, but they were blocked by the Demon Sealing Formation. No matter how much they begged and attacked, the Demon Sealing Formation remained unmoved.

Ghostly blood shadows flew out from the Blood Demon Sacrifice Array in the city, their scarlet claws easily tearing through the protective aura of low-level cultivators, snatching their souls, and throwing them into the sacrifice array.

After Jiang Yurong directed everyone to set up the great formation, seeing that the situation was not good, she stepped into the formation without hesitation. Her Ningguang Sword trembled slightly, and a dazzling sword light pierced the sky, like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens.

She was dressed in white, her black hair streaked with white against the blood moon. Wherever her sword light passed, the demons and monsters exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

The people in the city were dumbfounded, watching as the ferocious monster, which had been so ferocious just moments before, was now killed by a single sword strike like an ant!

However, the Blood Demon Sacrifice Array had been fully activated. The blood on the ground boiled and surged, converging into a river of blood that flowed towards the center of the city.

Countless distorted faces emerged from the viscous, dark red liquid. They were not human features, but rather pieces of writhing flesh and misplaced eyeballs.

Every face was emitting inhuman screams, the sound penetrating the brain like thousands of steel needles churning the nerves, causing splitting headaches and insane hallucinations.

Finally, a colossal creature, resembling a mountain of flesh, rose from the center of the blood river.

Its body has no fixed shape; sometimes it swells into a mountain-like tumor, and sometimes it collapses into a deformed trunk full of holes.

The Blood Demon roared, its sound waves causing the city walls to collapse. Low-level cultivators hidden in various places were so shocked by the sound that their souls collapsed, fleshy tendrils sprouted from under their skin, and they transformed into monsters.

Jiang Yurong's eyes were as cold as ice. Before the sword energy of the Condensed Light Sword in her hand was even released, the air within a hundred feet was frozen into frost, and even the surging blood mist became stagnant.

"Death, monster!"

Jiang Yurong took a step forward, creating nine white shadows in the void. Each white shadow swung its sword and slashed down, and the nine sword lights instantly cut the Blood Demon's hundred-foot-tall demon body into pieces!
The Blood Demon roared in agony, its body torn open with countless deep, bone-revealing cracks, and thick, black blood gushed out like a waterfall.

However, after this sword strike, a strand of white hair suddenly appeared at Jiang Yurong's temples, and her internal energy suddenly went out of control, rushing in reverse.

Seizing the moment when her breath became disordered, the Blood Demon unleashed a sticky tentacle from its mountain-like body, which slammed down with overwhelming bloodlust!
At the critical moment, the Condensed Light Sword in Jiang Yurong's hand suddenly emitted a trembling sound like a dragon's roar, and the cold light in Jiang Yurong's eyes suddenly surged. She actually forcibly reversed her true essence on the verge of going into qi deviation.

She ran her fingers along the sword's edge, and in an instant, the sky above Tianya City changed color as a bright, snow-white sword light, like divine punishment, slashed down!

The Blood Demon's tentacles were still in mid-air when its body split open from the center, cleaved in two by the sword!
Unfortunately, the Blood Demon Sacrifice Formation remained intact, and the Blood Demon continued to regenerate, making it difficult to eradicate in the short term.

Sword light and blood-red gleam intertwined, unleashing a deafening roar. With each strike, Jiang Yurong's face paled further, and the white hairs among her black hair increased at a visible rate.

"puff!"

Jiang Yurong coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggered, and her old injuries flared up completely, causing her sword energy to surge out of control.

Just then, a silver whip lashed out like lightning, striking the blood demon's wildly beating tentacles and forcing it back.

Danxi, dressed in red, arrived through the air, her silver whip dancing like a serpent, forcefully forcing the Blood Demon back amidst the loud cracking of the whip.

Danxi's true fire emanated a chilling aura as she grasped Jiang Yurong's wrist and channeled a stream of true energy into her. Without a word, the two exchanged a glance, and their former tacit understanding instantly returned.

Jiang Yurong's sword technique changed, transforming into a sky full of ice spikes that blocked the Blood Demon's retreat. Danxi's silver whip, like a dragon, coiled around the Blood Demon's body, and scorching true fire surged into the Blood Demon's body along the whip, burning its soul.

Off!
The two shouted coldly at the same time, sword light and whip shadow intertwined, the Blood Demon let out a shrill scream, and its huge body exploded, turning into a rain of blood.

The Blood Demon Sacrifice Array collapsed, and the crimson hue that enveloped Tianya City gradually dissipated.

"it's over……"

Lord Longri and the other three Nascent Soul cultivators from Baizang Valley who were maintaining the Demon-Sealing Array all breathed a sigh of relief.

The surviving monks collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down their faces from the joy of surviving the ordeal.

In mid-air, Danxi reached for Jiang Yurong's hand to check on her, but Jiang Yurong dodged her. "Yi... how are Yaoyao and the others in the secret realm?"

Danxi rolled her eyes. "If you care, just say so. You don't have a mouth to spit knives. They're fine, don't worry!"

A swarm of silver mist insects flew in, transforming into the shape of a hazy sun, and she quickly explained the situation to the two of them.

"...Gu Lou spent at least ten years secretly planning to set up this Blood Demon Sacrifice Array. If my disciple Shi Xu hadn't noticed the anomaly, something terrible would have really happened. Oh no, Shi Xu!"

Long Ri then remembered that when the great formation suddenly erupted, the situation was critical, and Shang Shixu was hidden in the city by her, leaving behind some silver mist insects for protection.

When Longri found the hiding place, he only saw the corpses of silver mist insects scattered all over the ruins, but he did not see Shang Shixu.

And that traitor from the Insect Valley, who secretly cultivated the Gu worms for the Dream Immortal Sect, has also remained untraceable from beginning to end.

Danxi and Jiang Yurong arrived shortly afterward. Seeing Longri's anxiety, Danxi offered words of comfort.

Jiang Yurong narrowed her eyes slightly, "There are words on the insect."

Long Ri was startled and hurriedly re-examined the silver mist insects on the ground, discovering tiny characters on each insect, which, when combined, formed…

“Master, I will settle my grievances with him myself. Do not look for me. When the time is right, I will send a message.”

The dim sunlight chilled me to the bone, yet I was powerless to do anything about it.
