I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 299 Heavenly Sound Breaks the Demon (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Zhao Cangyun gripped the Burning Prison Blade tightly, its crimson flames surging and reflecting his solemn face. "Senior Sister, if these guys all turn to demonic power, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out. Should we retreat first?"

Jiang Yi's gaze was cold and stern. Her goal was to eliminate Song Ming, a potential threat, and now that she had achieved that, there was no need for her to risk her life.

"Right on my mind."

Just as the two were about to leave, a melodious and clear flute tune suddenly rang out, like a flowing spring, piercing through the noisy roar of demons and echoing over the dock.

Jiang Yi and Zhao Cangyun looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Shang Shixu had somehow appeared on a rooftop at the dock, playing a flute, his blue robes fluttering in the wind.

His flute playing wasn't rousing, but it carried a strange rhythm that seemed to penetrate the soul.

As the flute music flowed, the black energy on the bodies of those demonized cultivators seemed to be drawn away by an invisible hand, drifting out in wisps and condensing in mid-air into Gu worms wrapped in demonic energy.

As soon as the Gu worm left the body, it fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, twitched a few times, and died completely.

"Ugh..."

The demonized cultivators collapsed to the ground, their twisted bodies gradually returning to normal. A moment later, they opened their eyes in a daze and looked around in terror.

"How...how did I get here? What happened?!"

Chaos erupted at the dock as the awakened cultivators fled in panic.

Shang Shixu's flute music continued as he manipulated the modified Dream Gu within those bodies, absorbing demonic energy. Once the Dream Gu left their bodies, the parasitized cultivators would awaken.

The sound of Shang Shixu's flute stirred Jiang Yi's heart for no reason. She glanced at the dark sky and the dreamlike shadows that appeared and disappeared in the wind and snow.

She certainly couldn't kill the nightmare, but if she could just dispel its shadow...

"Cangyun Hongli, protect me!"

Heavy snowflakes danced wildly in the sky, turning the world into a vast expanse of white.

Jiang Yi, his green robe fluttering, soared to the top of the mast like a startled swan, and sat cross-legged.

With the Floating Life Zither placed across his knees, he raised his hand and plucked the strings. The sound waves were like knives, instantly tearing apart the snow falling from the sky!
Zheng——

The Heavenly Melody of Demon Slayers suddenly began to play, its music stirring and transforming into invisible ripples that swept across all directions.

Wherever the sound waves passed, the hanging black threads snapped inch by inch, the demonic energy dissipated, and wails of agony filled the air.

Shang Shixu stood in the wind and snow, startled by the sound, then held the flute to his lips. The flute music of Cangmingyin suddenly changed, blending with the zither music.

The flute's clear, crisp sound was like a cold spring washing away the demonic shadows.

The music was powerful and resonant, like thunder crushing evil spirits.

The two resonated together, their melodies weaving a net that enveloped the entire city of Yuyang.

The cultivator below gradually calmed down, his demonized body was cleansed of its filth by the sound waves, and the crimson in his eyes disappeared.

Once the dream gu that had absorbed their demonic energy left their bodies, the cultivators suddenly awoke, and upon seeing their surroundings, they all looked up in shock.

On the mast, a figure in blue, like a banished immortal descending to earth, played the zither, causing the wind and snow to disperse and the demonic shadows to flee!
"This...what kind of magical power is this?!"

"It's Jiang Yi, it's her!"

"Fortunately!"

Jiang Yi closed his eyes and played the zither, his mind completely immersed in the profound artistic conception of "Heavenly Sound Breaking Demon Melody". The true meaning of the melody, which he had only seen through the fog for more than ten years, suddenly became clear under the oppressive shadow of the sky.

This piece is not for beheading enemies, but for cleansing the world with its sound and restoring clarity to heaven and earth!

The sound of the zither suddenly rose, and all seven strings simultaneously emitted a clear and melodious sound.

The myriad sword energies dormant within the sword-nurturing gourd surged forth like a reversed galaxy, shooting out with the sound waves. Shang Shixu shuddered, the flute music abruptly ceasing, no longer able to keep up with Jiang Yi's melody.

He looked up in shock and saw Jiang Yi with her hair in disarray and her green robe billowing. Moonlight-like sword light intertwined into a torrent, each one solid and tangible, carrying the vast sound waves of the Heavenly Melody of Demon-Slaying, transforming into a rain of swords that blotted out the sky and pierced straight into the heavens!
The sword river crashed into the demonic shadow!

scoff-

The overwhelming dreamlike demonic shadows were torn open by the sword light, leaving countless gaps. Moonlight poured down like a celestial river, illuminating Jiang Yi's brows and eyes as white as frost.

The demonic shadow shattered inch by inch, shredded into dust by the sonic sword energy.

As the music ended, the snow cleared and the clouds parted.

Outside Yuyang City, a figure stepped through the air, none other than True Monarch Huiyuan of the Cangling Sect.

He had come to provide assistance, but at this moment he stopped, his eyes filled with shock.

The music lingered, its echoes reverberating throughout heaven and earth.

"Who is this musical prodigy who can actually play such a powerful piece?"

After exclaiming in surprise, True Monarch Huiyuan remembered his business and quickly suppressed his thoughts, appearing at the dock of Yuyang City in a few flashes.

The dust had settled, and the survivors collapsed to the ground, laughing and crying at the same time.

Upon seeing Jiang Yi holding a zither on the mast, True Monarch Huiyuan gasped in shock. He felt a surge of envy, jealousy, and hatred towards True Monarch Danxi. After a long pause, he could only utter the word "monster."

Jiang Yi didn't expect the sect leader to value her so much. She sent a message saying that there was danger, and the sect leader directly invited True Monarch Huiyuan, who guards the sect.

Seeing that Shang Shixu had offered assistance, Jiang Yi roughly guessed what had happened. She was too lazy to care about the details; as long as the matter was resolved, that was enough. If it didn't concern her, she didn't have that strong curiosity.

The aftermath was left to Zhao Cangyun. He was talkative, so he told Huiyuan Zhenjun what had happened and asked him to inquire about the details from Shang Shixu.

Jiang Yi nodded to Huiyuan Zhenjun across the distance. Seeing that the green wooden cauldron under Hongli's bottom had stopped moving, he retrieved the cauldron and Hongli, and used the earth escape technique he had learned from the Xuanhuang Scripture to leave.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the city at the moment, Jiang Yi visited several bookstores and had Hua Gu take the Heart-Piercing Mirror and copy all the miscellaneous books in the bookstores.

She dispelled the demonic shadows over Yuyang City, which can be considered as saving the lives of everyone in the city. These books are her reward.

In addition to the common low-level cultivation techniques and manuals, the city's library also contains many cultivation experiences, travelogues, and strange tales written by cultivators themselves.

The Heart-Piercing Mirror cannot only record techniques; it needs comprehensive development, expanding the types of data in its database. Little by little, it will eventually undergo a qualitative change.

"Since we're going to record it, let's also visit the libraries of the Qin and Zhang families. Anyway, low-level techniques and seals are useless against the Heart-Piercing Mirror."

At the Qin and Zhang families, Jiang Yi found the corpses of the Golden Core cultivators from both families who had been afflicted by the Gu poison. Their dantian had blood holes, their Golden Cores were nowhere to be found, and unknown insects remained on their corpses, constantly gnawing at their flesh.

If they had joined forces instead of scheming against each other, they wouldn't have been so betrayed.

Jiang Yi could easily guess that Gu Lou had likely used the Zhang family to plot against the Qin family. With the Qin family down, the Zhang family was no longer a threat.

Zhao Cangyun's encounter with Shang Shixu on Zhang's territory suggests that the Gu Lou are most likely hiding in Zhang's territory.

The Gu ants are also playing a game of cat and mouse, deliberately coming to the Cangling Sect's territory. With their master becoming the alliance leader and the Insect Valley launching a large-scale search, they really don't dare to search this area of ​​the Cangling Sect.

After today, the Qin and Zhang families will cease to exist, and their remaining disciples may be recruited into the Cangling Sect as outer disciples.

However, none of this mattered to Jiang Yi. What she needed to do now was to calm her mind and go to the Inheritance Hall of Youxian Ferry to break the Seven Strings Restriction.

He has grasped the true meaning of the Heavenly Melody of Breaking Demons, and after ten years of concealing his sword, the Sword of Breaking Tribulation has begun to reveal its true intent.

it's time!
