This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

However, the Plague Demon soon devised a plan.

Dark green light swirled around Xuan Tianzong, followed by streaks of green light that outlined a graceful figure.

About a quarter of an hour later, a familiar person appeared in front of Xuan Tianzong.

"Open your eyes and take a good look. Xuan Tian Sect, your master, Fairy Lonely Moon, was beaten to death by the Blood Demon..."

Upon hearing the mention of Master Guyue, Xuantianzong, who had been frowning, suddenly opened his eyes.

Before him was the image of the lonely moon, drawn by the Plague Demon based on the divine memories of the Xuan Tian Sect.

Xuan Tianzong was stunned for a moment.

Even though they knew that the illusory figure of their master in front of them was a demonic spirit, the Plague Demon, deliberately trying to bewitch them, the Xuan Tian Sect couldn't bear to shatter it.

Seeing this, the Plague Demon realized that his thinking was correct, and smiled lightly, "Disciple likes Master, and the taboo did not stop you, but the appearance of the Blood Demon caused your Master to perish."

Xuantian Sect, are you really willing to accept this?
"I said, as long as you cooperate with me, I, the Blood Demon, will kill him. Now you just need to cooperate, and you can avenge Kunlun and your master. Why not?"

"Or do you simply not care about your master's blood feud and the destruction of your sect?"

Hearing the Plague Demon's constant provocations, Xuan Tianzong felt a chill run down his spine.

Her pale lips trembled uncontrollably.

"No need. I will avenge my master myself!"

"Hahaha, what a joke, you'll tell me yourself?"
"What means do you have to take revenge? The Blood Demon is a Nascent Soul Realm being, while you... your Dao Heart is shattered, and you'll never be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in this lifetime. You still want to take revenge yourself?"

"Shut up!"

Xuan Tianzong's eyes turned bloodshot, and traces of blood burned within his body, a symbol of his rage.

Why should I believe you!
"You're all cut from the same cloth when it comes to negotiating with demons. The Blood Demon is despicable, but how much better can you, the Plague Demon, be?"

"No, no, no, Xuantian Sect, as long as you can agree to my request, I am willing to swear to heaven. You know, my swearing to heaven is effective."

Even if I, the ancestor, am not a being of this world, so what?

"it is good!"

.........................................................

On the outskirts of the ancient battlefield, Zhong Bai, dressed in a plain Taoist robe, fluttered in the wind, his eyes revealing both determination and agility.

Her long, jet-black hair was tied up with a simple ribbon, giving her an ethereal and otherworldly aura.

The Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique is one of the Divine Firmament Sect's most treasured martial arts.

When this technique is used, thunderclouds will instantly gather in the sky, and five bolts of lightning will strike down with astonishing power.

The Shangqing Dragon Elephant Technique is an extremely rare body-training method.

Now, his Shangqing Dragon Elephant Technique is almost at the sixth level. At the fifth level, his physical strength was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. If he breaks through to the sixth level, he will be able to rival a Primordial Spirit expert.

His vital energy was as vigorous as a burning flame, surging and surging within his body, and the Samadhi True Fire Divine Power was one of his most powerful killing moves.

The ancient battlefield between the two realms is now filled with demonic energy, and the sky has been stained with darkness.

Zhong Bai sensed the emergence of evil spirits, and a murderous glint rose in his heart. He resolutely stepped into this dangerous area.

As for Zhiwei and the others, they have already left.

As soon as he stepped inside, he felt a strong aura of evil wash over him.

Suddenly, a sinister laugh came from the darkness ahead.

Several demons at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage slowly appeared.

These demons came in various shapes and sizes. Some were tall and muscular, with black smoke emanating from their bodies. Others were hunched over, but had huge claws that dripped with dark green venom. Still others had wings and their eyes gleamed with cruel light.

Zhong Bai felt a chill run down his spine, but showed no fear on his face.

He quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations as he unleashed the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique.

In an instant, dark clouds filled the sky, and lightning flashed and thunder roared within them.

"Boom!" A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck down towards the demons.

The towering demon snorted coldly, stretched out a hand, and a surge of black demonic power flowed from his hand, actually blocking the lightning attack.

The lightning struck the black magic, producing a dazzling light and a deafening roar.

"Kid, you think you can get away with this little trick?"

The demon spoke, its voice as harsh and grating as a broken gong.

Zhong Bai did not respond. He flashed forward like a streak of blue lightning, rushing towards the demon.

A faint red light surrounded his body; it was the protective aura brought by the Shangqing Dragon Elephant Technique.

Zhong Bai charged toward the hunched-over demon and threw a punch.

This punch contained the powerful force of his fifth level of the Shangqing Dragon Elephant Technique, and the air itself exploded with a loud bang.

The demon was not to be outdone, and swung its huge claws toward Zhong Bai.

With a clang, Zhong Bai's fist collided with the demon's claws, sending sparks flying.

Zhong Bai felt a powerful force coming from the demon's claws. His arm went slightly numb, but he quickly adjusted, stomped his foot, and used the reaction force to spin around. He then struck the demon's head with his other hand.

This time, Samadhi Fire ignited in his palm.

The Samadhi Fire roared as it rushed toward the demon.

The demon sensed the heat of the Samadhi Fire and a hint of fear appeared in its eyes.

He quickly retreated, spitting out a stream of black venom.

When the venom met the Samadhi Fire, it made a sizzling sound. The venom was evaporated by the flames and emitted a pungent odor.

Seeing this, the other two demons also surrounded Zhong Bai.

The winged demon flew into the air, and with a flap of its wings, countless black feathers shot towards Zhong Bai like sharp arrows.

Zhong Bai moved his hands rapidly in front of him, forming a protective shield of qi.

Black feathers struck the shield, producing a series of rapid impacts.

At that moment, while Zhong Bai was defending against the feather attack, the tall demon quietly circled behind him, condensed a huge black demon ball in his hands, and smashed it towards Zhong Bai's back.

Zhong Bai sensed the danger behind him. Without thinking, he pushed the Shangqing Dragon Elephant Technique to its limit.

His back muscles bulged instantly, becoming as hard as steel.

"Bang!" The magic ball slammed into his back. Although he blocked the attack, he was still thrown forward by the powerful force.

Zhong Bai steadied himself in mid-air, knowing he could no longer passively take the beating.

He took a deep breath and once again unleashed the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique.

This time, he summoned three bolts of lightning and struck the three demons simultaneously.

The three demons had to divert their attention to defend against the lightning.

The hunched demon hid behind a boulder, while the winged demon flew higher into the sky, and the tall demon once again used its magic to resist.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhong Bai rushed towards the hunched-over demon.

He was incredibly fast, appearing before the demon in an instant.

He grabbed the demon's arms with both hands, then suddenly raised his knee and slammed it into the demon's abdomen.

The impact caused the demon to bend over, and Zhong Bai immediately followed up with an over-the-shoulder throw, slamming the demon hard into the ground.

Before the demon could even get up, Zhong Bai slammed his feet down on it, then formed a hand seal and channeled his true energy into the demon's body. The demon's body began to tremble violently; it tried to struggle, but Zhong Bai's strength was too great, and it couldn't break free at all.

Just as Zhong Bai was about to completely destroy the demon, the winged demon swooped down from the sky, its sharp claws reaching for Zhong Bai's head.

Zhong Bai had no choice but to abandon his suppression of the demons on the ground and leap backward.

The winged demon missed its target, let out an angry scream, and pounced on Zhong Bai again.

Zhong Bai took out a longsword from his storage ring, and with the infusion of his true essence, it emitted a faint light.

The demon used its wings to block the attack of the spirit sword, but the sword energy pierced its wings, splashing up a spray of black blood.

The demon, in pain, attacked Zhong Bai even more frantically.

At this moment, the towering demon also joined the battle.

He and the winged demon attacked Zhong Bai from both sides.

Zhong Bai was caught in the middle, and the pressure on him increased sharply.

Suddenly, an idea struck him. He drew out the Samadhi Fire from within his body and spread it outwards. The Samadhi Fire formed a ring of fire, temporarily separating the two demons.

Zhong Bai then took the opportunity to attack one of the demons.

He chose the tall, imposing demon, and his spirit sword drew a graceful arc in the air as it pierced towards the demon's neck.

The demon dodged to the side, but was still slashed on the shoulder.

He roared and reached out with both hands to grab Zhong Bai.

Zhong Bai dodged behind the demon and kicked it in the back of the knee.

The demon's knees buckled, and it almost collapsed to its knees.

Zhong Bai pressed his advantage, grabbing the demon's head with both hands and twisting it forcefully.

With a "crack," the demon's neck was snapped.

The demon's body slowly collapsed, turning into a cloud of black smoke and dissipating.

At this moment, the winged demon became even more enraged upon seeing its companion killed.

Countless sharp spikes suddenly sprouted from his wings, and he charged towards Zhong Bai.

Zhong Bai unleashed the Shangqing Dragon Elephant Technique, making his body incredibly hard, and charged towards the evil spirit.

The two collided again, and the spikes pierced Zhong Bai's body. Although they did not break his skin, they still caused him a sharp pain.

Despite the pain, Zhong Bai grabbed the demon's wings and yanked them hard.

He tore off a large piece of the demon's wing, and the demon let out a painful cry.

Zhong Bai didn't stop; he used the torn-off wings as weapons and smashed them towards the demon's head.

The demon was unable to dodge in time and was hit so hard that it became dizzy and disoriented.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhong Bai plunged the spirit sword into the heart of the demon.

The demon's eyes widened in disbelief that it had been killed so easily, before it too vanished into black smoke.

At this moment, the hunched-over demon on the ground also came to its senses.

He knew he was no match for Zhong Bai, but he was unwilling to die like this.

He took out a black bead from his pocket and then crushed it.

In an instant, a powerful evil force was released from the bead.

Zhong Bai sensed a dangerous aura. He wanted to stop the demon, but it was too late.

The evil force swept towards Zhong Bai, who quickly activated his protective qi shield to defend himself. However, the force was too powerful, and the shield was shattered instantly.

Zhong Bai was struck by this force and flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

When the demon saw Zhong Bai injured, it revealed a sinister smile.

He slowly walked towards Zhong Bai, intending to take the opportunity to kill him.

Zhong Bai lay on the ground, feeling his blood surging within him. He tried to regulate his breathing and stand up.

The demon came to Zhong Bai, raised its claws, and stepped on Zhong Bai's head.

Just as the claws were about to step on Zhong Bai's head, Zhong Bai's eyes suddenly opened.

He grabbed the demon's claws with both hands and twisted them forcefully.

The demon did not expect Zhong Bai to still have the strength to resist, and was twisted and lost his balance.

Taking the opportunity, Zhong Bai stood up and pushed the Shangqing Dragon Elephant Technique to its limit.

His body radiated a strong light, and the power of his blood and qi flowed on his body surface as if it had materialized.

He charged toward the demon, and this time, every punch and kick he delivered was imbued with immense power.

The demon was utterly defeated by Zhong Bai and could only retreat in defeat.

Zhong Bai unleashed his final punch, shattering the demon's body into pieces.

"Without using the divine power of 'Law of Heaven and Earth' and without utilizing the Kui Niu Drum Soul-Guiding Lamp, it would be quite difficult to kill a demon at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage using only physical strength and true essence..."

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Bai looked at the demons that had become his demon-slaying points and felt incredibly satisfied.

At the same time, the dark light emanating from the spirit sword in his hand startled him.

"This spirit sword, even before I have refined it, possesses such terrifying sharpness. It truly lives up to its reputation as a primordial spirit treasure. The effect is quite good. Once I return to Maoshan, I will accelerate the refining process."

Looking back at the ancient battlefield, Zhong Bai no longer lingered. The entire ancient battlefield had been in turmoil these past few days. The demons wanted to escape, but the Buddhist sect, the Taoist sect, and the demon race had all laid a trap.

Every day, primordial spirits and demonic beings attempting to escape are captured by the Haotian Mirror, followed by slaughter...

If these demons were still at their peak, they might have been able to put up some resistance, but after being sealed for thousands of years, their strength is not what it used to be, and they can only be slaughtered at will.

Of course, there were clever people among them, such as the Plague Demon that possessed the Xuan Tian Sect.

but……

Whether they were discovered or not is unclear, but at least the Plague Demon left the ancient battlefield with the help of the Xuan Tian Sect.

The land to the east of the ancient battlefield.

Master Tianning remained calm. In the first few days, some demons at the Nascent Soul stage attempted to break through, but with Master Zunsheng of Mount Wutai in charge, these attempts were futile.

"Amitabha, Brother Tianning, the Plague Demon has possessed the Xuantian Sect and left the ancient battlefield."

I imagine that in another two years, once the Plague Demon has recovered, it will seek revenge on the Blood Demon.

However, there is one thing I don't understand: why didn't the Daoist sect capture and kill the Blood Demon themselves?

Longhu Mountain and Maoshan Mountain both have immortal masters presiding over them..."

Master Tianning smiled faintly at Master Zunsheng's doubts.

"Does the master want to know?"

The Blood Demon is indeed not difficult to deal with. Although it excels at concealment, finding it is only a matter of time. However, Maoshan and Longhushan have limited resources in recent years and do not want to expend the effort.

"Amitabha, so that's how it is!"

Master Zunsheng seemed to understand, but he was certain that Master Tianning was not lying.
