Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 701 The Demonic Sect Attacks the City, Infiltrating Among Them (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"The Nine Netherworlds are shrouded in darkness, where all ghosts grieve!"

One of them gritted his teeth, produced a jet-black talisman, and shouted fiercely.

The moment the talisman exploded, the entire "Jingyuetan" was plunged into darkness.

Countless wailing ghosts surged from the ground, and the howling wind condensed into solid black chains, completely sealing off the space within a thousand feet.

"It's the 'Nine Netherworld Sealing Talisman'!"

Ling Xiaozi's expression changed drastically. "They actually dared to use such a precious treasure!"

"Thunder and fire clash!"

A cold glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes, and his two swords suddenly crossed into a cross.

Purple lightning and Samadhi Fire intertwined into a net, colliding violently with the black chains.

As the two forces were locked in a stalemate, the ground began to tremble violently, and the water in the pool surged up into towering waves hundreds of feet high.

"Click..."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the four Supreme Elders of the "Netherworld Ghost Sect" crushed the teleportation jade talisman, their figures gradually becoming ethereal.

The heavily wounded old man in black robes glared venomously at Li Yunjing: "The grudge of today will surely be avenged one day..."

"Want to go?"

Li Yunjing suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword".

Five-colored runes immediately appeared on the sword, which transformed into a stream of light and pierced into the void.

"Five Elements Seal the Demon!"

Four muffled thuds echoed in the void, forcibly interrupting the teleportation of the three elders.

Only the old man in black robes managed to escape into the spatial rift at the critical moment. Half of his body was shredded by the sword energy, leaving only a scream that echoed between heaven and earth.

"pity."

Li Yunjing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and turned to look at the three trapped Supreme Elders of the Netherworld Ghost Sect.

The three men looked ashen-faced.

Their most proficient ghost escape technique was completely sealed by the Five Elements Sword Qi!

"The Netherworld Ghost Sect has quite the grand scheme, ambushing our sect with five Nascent Soul cultivators. It seems they have much more to plan!"

Ling Xiaozi stepped forward with a sneer: "Too bad, you didn't expect this! Before you could even make a move, we preemptively wiped out your allies!"

"Kill me if you want!"

One of the purple-faced elders grinned maliciously, "Wait until our sect leader emerges from seclusion..."

"Noisy."

Li Yunjing pointed his sword, and the ancient bronze bell descended upon him.

As the bell tolled, blood flowed from the seven orifices of the three people, and their nascent souls were even forced out of their bodies!
"Soul search!"

Ten Nascent Soul cultivators attacked simultaneously, forcibly extracting three semi-transparent souls.

With a piercing wail, a flood of fragmented memories surfaced like a revolving lantern...

Fifteen minutes later, the memory ended abruptly.

Li Yunjing suddenly opened his eyes: "The Netherworld Sect Master is attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm!"

Everyone's expression changed upon hearing this.

Ling Xiaozi said urgently, "We must report back to the sect leader immediately!"

"That's too late."

Li Yunjing suddenly looked eastward and saw that the horizon was already turning a pale white.

He did some quick calculations and suddenly his expression changed drastically: "Today is an unlucky year, unlucky month, and unlucky day!"

As if to confirm his words, the entire earth suddenly trembled violently.

Hundreds of miles away, a blood-red pillar of light shot into the sky, turning the pre-dawn sky dark red.

"Rumble..."

A crimson pillar of light pierced through the heavens and earth, as if the entire sky had been torn apart.

The clouds churned and transformed into a gigantic, grotesque face, roaring menacingly.

Within the pillar of light, a figure slowly rose, his black robes fluttering, surrounded by countless vengeful spirits and ghosts, his mournful wails echoing across the land.

"Hahaha! I have finally stepped into the Nascent Soul stage!"

His hoarse voice was like a cold wind from the depths of hell, sweeping across thousands of miles.

"The Netherworld Sect Master actually succeeded!"

Li Yunjing's pupils suddenly contracted, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

"not good!"

Ling Xiaozhi's face turned deathly pale. "The Nascent Soul Realm... we are no match for them!"

"Withdraw from Shenxiao Pass immediately!"

Li Yunjing gritted his teeth and quickly issued the order.

"Can we hold on?"

Lingxiaozi asked urgently.

"no problem!"

A resolute glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes. "This person has just broken through, but he needs time. We cannot give him the opportunity to consolidate his cultivation!"

"That's all it can do!"

Ling Xiaozhi and the others had no choice but to nod in agreement.

The Netherworld Ghost Sect has gained a Nascent Soul Realm True Monarch, which has tipped the balance of power and is greatly disadvantageous to the Divine Firmament Dao Sect!
Everyone could only secretly rejoice that they had killed six Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in one battle, weakening the enemy's power; otherwise, their lives would have been even more difficult.

"Does this demon think it can do anything to us by defying the heavens today?"

Seeing the dejection in everyone's hearts, Li Yunjing had no choice but to encourage them: "Don't forget, the forces at the front have already shifted. If this demon dares to come, I will risk everything and fight to the death with the 'Taiyin Talisman'! We will completely crush the 'Netherworld Ghost Sect' and take back their two states!"

"Not bad! With a sixth-tier talisman, you can still kill a True Monarch who has just broken through to the Nascent Soul realm."

After hearing Li Yunjing's words, Ling Xiaozi realized what was going on, rallied the troops, and then discussed with his fellow disciples, saying, "Since tonight's plan has succeeded, let's return to Shenxiao Pass for now, meditate and rest to recover our strength, and await the demon's next move!"

"boom!"

When Li Yunjing and his group returned to the outside of Shenxiao Pass, the deafening roar continued, and the series of explosions caused the entire pass to tremble violently.

Even the formations set up on the city walls were subjected to wave after wave of bombardment, and the entire formation trembled violently.

Outside the city, hordes of demonic cultivators, almost countless in number, were launching a frenzied attack on "Shenxiao Pass"!
Clearly, when the monks of Mingxin Temple met with disaster, the Netherworld Ghost Sect split its forces into two groups. In addition to sending five elders to aid Mingxin Temple, the other side assembled a large army and began to attack the city.

This troop deployment demonstrates the determination of the "Netherworld Ghost Sect" to reclaim "Shenxiao Pass"!

This formidable pass had been in the hands of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" for decades, a thorn in their side that caused the "Youming Gui Sect" immense distress.

This time, the "Netherworld Ghost Sect's" all-out attack is aimed at reclaiming the strategic pass and driving the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" back to the "Hengyue Mountain Range"!
"not good!"

Ling Xiaozhi's face was extremely grim. "What do we do?"

"Hold on!"

Li Yunjing looked at the front of "Shenxiao Pass". The two armies, numbering in the millions, were engaged in a fierce battle, with all kinds of supernatural powers densely packed together, obscuring the sky.

At this point, attempting to pass the level is definitely not a good choice!

Even the greatest skill can be destroyed if attacked by a million people!
Fortunately, the situation is relatively stable!
At the heart of the entire "Shenxiao Pass," there was no sign of the city falling. It was merely experiencing boundless turmoil. Many places within the city were radiated by the shockwave, and wherever it passed, ordinary Qi Refining cultivators were blasted into dust.

Most of the buildings that were not protected by any array were blasted into dust, and countless mortals were also wiped out in this catastrophe.

However, the core area remains as stable as ever.

In particular, cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and above blocked the enemy's attack and still had the strength to counterattack the enemies below using the formation and the city walls.

Li Yunjing stood fifty miles outside the city, his eyes gleaming as he carefully observed every part of "Shenxiao Pass" and sensed the changes in the formation.

The fierce attack made the entire Shenxiao Pass formation appear even brighter.

These are all unusual phenomena caused by the various formations within "Shenxiao Pass" operating beyond their capacity.

The other Supreme Elders stared intently at the distant, war-torn Shenxiao Pass, their brows furrowed.

On the city wall, countless disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" activated their magical treasures and fought against the demonic cultivators outside the city. The spiritual light and demonic energy intertwined, and the roar was deafening.

"It seems that the 'Netherworld Ghost Sect' is determined to take back this pass this time."

Ling Xiaozi said in a deep voice, "They are even willing to sacrifice the lives of low-level cultivators to deplete the power of our formation!"

"The city's defenses are solid; we still have time."

Li Yunjing's gaze turned cold as he quickly analyzed the situation: "A direct assault is not advisable; we must find another breakthrough."

"Gentlemen, follow me to circle around to the enemy's flank and launch a surprise attack on their command camp!"

He turned to look at the crowd and said, "As long as we kill their Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and weaken their strength, the enemy army will surely fall into chaos!"

"But since the other side dared to attack the city, they must have a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators stationed there!"

One of the elders asked worriedly, "We are not at our peak condition. Can we kill the enemy's high-ranking officers while they are surrounded and attacked by our army?"

"Yes!"

Others nodded.

A Nascent Soul Realm cultivator is not easy to kill!

They had suffered losses in their previous attack on the experts from "Mingxin Temple" and "Youming Ghost Sect," all of whom were injured.

Some people are still seriously injured, and they can hardly exert even half of their strength!
In this situation, charging the enemy's main force is far too dangerous. "We won't engage in a direct confrontation!"

Li Yunjing sneered, "After their prolonged attack has yielded no results, they will inevitably become restless and a Nascent Soul Realm expert will definitely take action. We should wait patiently and look for an opportunity to launch a joint attack on such a person!"

"good idea!"

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

The situation is critical; only by taking them by surprise can we turn the tide of the battle!

"go!"

Li Yunjing took the lead, leading his men to transform into streaks of light, bypassing the main battlefield and quietly approaching the enemy's flank.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the enemy's army formation, Li Yunjing and his eleven concealed their presence, changed into the clothes of "Netherworld Ghost Sect" disciples, and infiltrated a small group of them.

This small group of troops numbered only a little over a hundred.

Their cultivation levels are mostly at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Relying on the formation, they gathered their strength and launched a series of divine powers towards "Shenxiao Pass" to bombard it!

Such a formation is of a very low level.

Li Yunjing and the others are all real people with unique insights, and they can simulate 90% of the original in no time.

In the midst of such a great battle, the demonic cultivators didn't notice the eleven unexpected guests for a moment.

However, this place is still a hundred miles away from the main force of the "Netherworld Ghost Sect," making it really difficult for Li Yunjing and his men to sneak over there unnoticed.

The group exchanged glances, suppressing their anxiety, and with the combat power of the first level of the Foundation Establishment realm, they channeled their magic power into a symbolic attack on "Shenxiao Pass".

The intense fluctuations were far stronger than all the previous attacks combined.

The frequency and intensity of the "Netherworld Ghost Sect's" attacks are increasing rapidly!
Clearly, the higher-ups of the "Netherworld Ghost Sect" have learned that there is a problem in the direction of "Pure Moon Pool" and want to take advantage of the fact that Li Yunjing and his main force have not returned to break through "Divine Firmament Pass" first.

While Li Yunjing and his group were on tenterhooks, the "Shenxiao Pass" formation continued to fluctuate. The powerful attacks from all sides caused the formation to explode repeatedly, but so far no loopholes appeared.

Inside the city lord's mansion, surrounded by ruins, the entire city seemed to have been completely destroyed.

If the four city walls hadn't still stood and the formation hadn't been constantly shifting, this formidable pass would have truly been completely destroyed.

The thick stench of blood permeated the battlefield for three hundred miles. The people inside the city fared somewhat better, but the death toll of the "Netherworld Ghost Sect" outside the city was more than twice that of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect."

The ground was covered with countless corpses when, in the next instant, a massive divine power struck down, instantly vaporizing all the corpses and disappearing without a trace.

In such a mythical battlefield, to leave a corpse behind, one must at least have the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul realm!

Otherwise, everyone will die a horrible death!
The moment they touched each other, Li Yunjing and the others felt their bodies tremble!
The counterattack from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" unleashed tens of thousands of divine powers from "Shenxiao Pass," reducing their squad to just eleven people, including Li Yunjing, almost instantly.

All the other disciples of the "Netherworld Ghost Sect" were reduced to ashes.

Even with the formation, it couldn't protect them!

"Sigh... I got beaten up by my own people!"

Li Yunjing and the other eleven exchanged glances, each seeing a bitter smile in the other's eyes.

"Retreat first!"

Li Yunjing said in a low voice.

The eleven people immediately retreated towards the area closer to the center, but not long after, a group of black-robed cultivators appeared in front of them and blocked their way.

"Damn it, who told you to retreat? Don't you want to live anymore?"

The leader, a black-robed man at the Golden Core stage, shouted.

The others took out chains, preparing to capture Li Yunjing and his group.

"The military supervisor?"

Li Yunjing's eyes lit up, and he transmitted his voice, "Take them down, take their identities, and we can move freely within the military ranks as law enforcement officers."

"good idea!"

Ling Xiaozhi and the others were overjoyed and agreed that this was a good idea.

"You little devils, I usually don't have time to deal with you, but today you've come here to die, so don't blame me for being ruthless!"

An elder, like a ghost, flashed by, and the members of the enforcement team fell to the ground without even uttering a sound.

This was a complete massacre. The Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators of the "Netherworld Ghost Sect" had no power to fight back and could only watch helplessly as the people around them perished one after another at the hands of the unseen figures.

In an instant, only a dozen or so people remained out of the hundreds. These people looked heartbroken and knew they wouldn't last much longer.

Having taken in the entire situation, Li Yunjing said coldly, "Elder Ma, hurry up! Don't waste too much time on these people. We have important matters to attend to!"

"it is good!"

As soon as Li Yunjing said this, the situation on the field changed. The Grand Elder surnamed Ma moved so fast that only a blur could be seen. In almost the blink of an eye, all one hundred members of the enforcement team perished.

Seeing that there was no one left alive, Li Yunjing nodded, raised his hand, and selected eleven sets of uniforms for the law enforcement team.

"Everyone, put these on!"

After giving the instructions, everyone put on the uniforms of the "Netherworld Ghost Sect" enforcement team. The auras they exuded were all at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm and the Golden Core realm.

As for the hundred corpses, they were all burned to ashes and disappeared without a trace.

Li Yunjing and his entourage, dressed in the black robes of the law enforcement team and with menacing iron chains around their waists, swaggered toward the core area of ​​the demon army.

The demonic cultivators along the way all lowered their heads and gave way when they saw them.

The enforcement team was infamous within the "Netherworld Ghost Sect," and ordinary disciples dared not even look them in the eye.

"stop!"

A demonic cultivator at the early Nascent Soul stage suddenly blocked their path, asking, "Which team are you from? Why are you abandoning your post?"

"Reporting to the Supreme Elder, I am here on the orders of Lord Blood Fiend to inspect the fleeing cultivators at the front lines."

Li Yunjing felt a chill run down his spine, but he didn't show it on his face. He spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I recognize all the enforcers under Lord Blood Fiend, so why have I never seen you before?"

The demonic cultivator looked at everyone suspiciously, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked.

The atmosphere suddenly froze!

Ling Xiaozi's whisk trembled slightly, as if he were ready to strike and kill at any moment.

Li Yunjing suddenly stepped forward and lowered his voice, saying, "Elder, you are wise, we are newly transferred... actually..."

He deliberately hesitated, while simultaneously pulling out a jade pendant tainted with demonic energy from his robes.

It was the token that was just found on the enforcement captain.

"Hmm! It's the Enforcement Hall's token!"

The demonic cultivator took the jade token and examined it, then his expression suddenly changed drastically.

Using this identity, the group traveled smoothly and quickly approached the central command tent.

In the center of the camp stood an altar made of skulls, surrounded by twelve blood-red banners that vaguely formed some kind of eerie formation.

"It's the 'Blood Sacrifice Formation'!"

Ling Xiaozi's pupils shrank sharply. "They want to use the blood and souls of millions of lives to shatter the power of our formation."

"This formation must be destroyed!"

Li Yunjing's eyes turned cold, and he immediately had this idea.

Just as they were about to act, a burst of bloody light suddenly erupted from the altar, and a hoarse voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth: "The time has come, the blood sacrifice begins!"

"Rumble..."

The twelve blood banners moved without wind, and countless blood-red chains shot out from the banners, instantly piercing through thousands of demonic cultivators within a ten-mile radius!

Those demonic cultivators didn't even have time to scream before their life essence was drained, turning them into dried corpses and collapsing to the ground.

"Oh no! They're even killing their own people!"

"A senior elder exclaimed in horror."

Li Yunjing made a decisive decision: "The plan has changed, let's launch a direct attack!"

Blood sacrifice can be exchanged for great power. In any case, disrupting the opponent's blood sacrifice is definitely the right choice!

Almost without hesitation, the eleven people instantly sprang up, unleashing their Nascent Soul aura without reservation!
"who?!"

The demonic cultivators guarding the altar were terrified.

"The one who wants to kill you!"

Li Yunjing unleashed his "Boundary-Breaking Sword" and "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" simultaneously, and the dazzling sword light directly cut many demonic cultivators around him in half!
"Enemy attack!"

"There's a spy!"

"Quickly notify the Supreme Elder!"

……

The piercing alarm blared throughout the camp, but it was too late.

Eleven Nascent Soul cultivators attacked simultaneously, and the guards around the altar were instantly killed or wounded!
"Break the formation quickly!"

Li Yunjing slashed his sword towards the central altar.

"boom!"

Just then, a crimson beam of light descended from the sky, forcefully blocking the sword strike.

Within the pillar of light, a figure shrouded in a blood-red robe slowly emerged.
