I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 622 You Demons! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The condensed sword intent and sound blades, as solid as a tangible substance, slashed at the three demonic figures that were closing in like a storm.

These three demonic figures were none other than Xuanzhi, Luoheng, and Yuwei, the three True Persons who fought to the death in the Cangling Sect back then. The person fighting the Azure Scale Corpse Puppet in the distance was Lu Qingya, the Sect Master of the Northern Xuan Cangling Sect.

Their bodies were filled with surging demonic energy. Their faces, clothes, and even the magical treasures and spells they used were exactly the same as when they were alive. Under the blessing of the demonic tide, their auras all rose to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and their ferocity was overwhelming.

"Jiang Yi!"

The demonic figure resembling Luo Heng Zhenren brandished a flaming longsword to deflect the sonic blade, and shouted, "Back in the Cangling Sect, if it weren't for Dan Xi's interference, you would have become my disciple! And my two disciples, Xi Yue and Hong Lian, both died because of you. Have you forgotten all of this?"

The music suddenly became sharp, forcing Luo Heng's demonic figure back several steps. The demonic energy around him surged violently, emitting a sizzling, corrosive sound.

Jiang Yi's face was icy cold, but her eyes were as clear as an ancient well, without any ripples.

Jiang Yi's ten fingers traced a more rapid and somber rhythm on the strings.

The grand artistic conception of "Tian Gang Subduing Demons Melody" was brought to its extreme. The sound of the zither attracted the power of the golden Bagua formation on the island. Strands of golden light fell from the light shield like chains, and together with the sound blades, they strangled the three demons.

"Since you claim to be old friends of the Cangling Sect, do you still remember why you all died?"

On the other side, Yu Weizhen, a demonic figure, had black demonic vines dancing wildly beneath his feet, their tips taut like swords, emanating a chilling demonic sword intent that clashed with Jiang Yi's sonic blade.

"You died saving the younger generation of the Cangling Sect, how come you're now turning your swords against your own fellow disciples?!"

Faced with Jiang Yi's questioning, Yu Wei avoided the barrage of sound blades and spoke sincerely.

"Jiang Yi, when a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. Once you're dead, there's truly nothing left! How do you know we weren't acting impulsively back then? How do you know if we regretted this pointless sacrifice the moment our bodies and souls dissipated? Although we've entered the demonic path, it's also a kind of rebirth!"

“Look at us, how are we any different from you so-called ‘righteous cultivators’? Even if we become demons, we can still cultivate and seek the path to heaven! If all cultivators under heaven became like us, without distinction, then who… would be the real ‘demon’?”

"absurd!"

Jiang Yi finally roared out, the sound of her zither exploding like thunder. Several sound blades merged into one, transforming into a huge phantom of a starlight sword, which fiercely slashed at Yu Wei's demonic shadow, sending her and the demonic vines beneath her feet flying. A large area of ​​demonic energy dissipated.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the demonic figure resembling Xuanzhi Zhenren waved its blue feather fan, stirring up a hurricane of filthy demonic energy, attempting to disrupt Jiang Yi's mind and the realm of zither music.

“Junior Sister Yu Wei is right! Times have changed! Now it’s just that you have the numbers and the power, and occupy the so-called ‘orthodoxy,’ that you’re calling us ‘demons’! But in our eyes, aren’t you beings who are blocking our rebirth and hindering our pursuit of power also our ‘demons’? This distinction between good and evil is nothing but a fig leaf to cover up the fact that the victor is king and the loser is villain!”

Jiang Yi's eyes were sharp as swords. "To betray one's true nature and bring disaster to the world is to be a demon! You have stolen the remains of the deceased and desecrated the souls of heroes and martyrs, which is an unforgivable crime! Today, I will cleanse the Cangling Sect of its evil and slay you demons!"

When the "Shangqing String Rhyme Technique" was activated to its limit, the Bright Mirror Heart Fire burned fiercely within Jiang Yi's nascent soul, forcibly suppressing the overwhelming rage brought about by demonic energy and thoughts, and maintaining absolute calm.

The music grew increasingly passionate and stirring, drawing not only the true essence of the zither and sword, but also the righteous energy of the entire Golden Light Bagua Formation!
However, these three demons manifested with the power of the demonic tide, possessing formidable strength and an inexhaustible supply of demonic energy, giving them astonishing regenerative abilities.

Jiang Yineng could injure them; the sound blades and golden light continuously left deep wounds on the demonic bodies, burning large blank areas, but the churning demonic energy could always quickly fill them, making it difficult to truly severely injure or kill them.

They knew her well, cooperated with each other, avoided all her hidden killer moves, and were determined to wear her down.

Outside the golden Bagua Formation, the Azure Scale Corpse Puppet and the enormous demonic shadow resembling Deer Green Cliff were engaged in a fierce battle between the sea and the sky. The Netherworld Ghost Fire and the raging demonic energy collided violently, and each lash of the giant tail triggered a tsunami-like surge of energy.

All around the island, demons surged like a tidal wave against the golden fortress. The city walls roared with the sounds of runes, and crossbow bolts rained down. Jiang Yi's scattered troops fought valiantly, but the demonic tide was endless. Kunlun Pass was like an isolated island in a raging sea, bearing the brunt of the violent pressure from all sides. Jiang Yi fought three demons alone. Their words were like leeches, unable to shake her resolve, but they invisibly increased her mental burden.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can hold out!"

Seeing that his words were not very effective, Luo Heng Mo Ying launched an even more frenzied attack, his blazing demonic blade whipping up a sky full of black flames, burning the incoming sonic blades and golden light.

Inside the Bagua City.

The deafening sounds of battle were mostly blocked by the golden Bagua formation, but the breathtaking battle scene in the sky was clearly visible through the huge light barrier that flowed with golden runes.

The cultivators in the city held their breath, looking up at the figure who was fighting against three Nascent Soul stage demon shadows single-handedly.

"Crane Shadow Sword Master is...so strong!"

A young cultivator's voice trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief and awe. He was a cultivator sent by another island to trade supplies. He had participated in the last battle against the demonic tide and knew the terror of the demons.

The pervasive demonic energy and its interference with the mind made it impossible for cultivators to defend against. In his opinion, being able to block a demon of the same level was already extremely powerful, but Jiang Yi alone blocked three demons with higher cultivation levels than her.

More importantly, the Kunlun Pass she built, which seemed to lack any defenders or people, actually managed to withstand the encirclement and attack of the demonic tide.

Jiang Heying alone could form an army!
The crowd's attention was almost entirely drawn to the battle in the sky, and they did not notice several figures silently blending into the crowd at the edge, using the shadows of the buildings to quickly and covertly sneak towards the eight crucial corners of the Bagua City.

One of them, disguised as a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a terrified expression, approached the array's foundation pillar in the northeast corner.

He held a highly compressed ball of pitch-black demonic energy in his palm, radiating an aura of destruction. If he took just a few more steps closer, he could instantly detonate himself, turning this crucial array base along with the nearby cultivators into dust, enough to create a fatal flaw in the Golden Light Eight Trigrams Array.

"Hmph, do you think I'm blind?!"

A melodious voice, like thunder, exploded behind him!
The demon disguised as a rogue cultivator trembled violently and turned around abruptly, only to see that Hua Luosha had appeared several feet behind him like a ghost, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

On the other side, a handsome white-clad corpse demon pounced on him!

The demon didn't even have a chance to detonate his demonic seed before the corpse demon pierced through his body with a single claw, forcefully crushing the demonic seed within his palm.

At almost the same time, similar battles broke out in the other seven corners of the Bagua City formation.

Seven corpse puppets, which had been buried deep underground near the array base by the Flower Rakshasa, broke out of the ground. These corpse puppets were all beautiful in their own way, but without exception, they were all fast, accurate and ruthless in their attacks.

Hua Luosha raised her head and looked at the blue figure in the center of the demonic storm, fiercely fighting with three demonic figures.

The zither music was clear and resonant, the sword intent was powerful and unrestrained, and the golden light was like a dragon. Jiang Yi's figure appeared so small amidst the intertwining of demonic energy and golden light, yet he stood tall and upright.

A complex light flashed in Hua Luosha's eyes, a mixture of admiration, worry, and a hint of helplessness at not being able to fight side by side.

"Although I cannot fight alongside you, I will definitely protect this rear for you!"
