Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

Master Lu was struck down from the main platform by the black bird and fell to the ground; his fate is unknown.

Master Liang was so frightened that he kept backing away and dared not come any closer.

"Hurry up and do it, or we'll all die!" Lu Chuanxing shouted sharply, and then a small flag appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The flag is sewn with images of mountains, rivers, clouds, and mist.

As the black bird approached, a foul, fishy smell wafted over.

Claws extended, gleaming with black light.

Lu Chuanxing remained expressionless as he infused his magic power, causing the small flag to rapidly grow larger.

The small flag transformed into a large flag, resembling a long spear, which Lu Chuanxing held in his hand.

"Clumsy!" Lu Chuanxing slammed forward.

The flags fluttered in the wind, and the clouds and mist spread out.

The clouds and mist enveloped the strange, black bird.

Lu Chuanxing concealed himself and disappeared from the scene.

The black bird lost its target and began to dart around aimlessly, but its vision was obscured by the clouds and mist, making it impossible to break through.

"Senior Brother Lu, impressive skills!" Hall Master Liang flew over and stood in front of Lu Chuanxing, saying to him.

"Hmph, do you think you can rely on two good-for-nothings like you?"

Lu Chuanxing glared at Liang Tangzhu, then stared intently at the strange black bird trapped in the clouds in the sky.

Every now and then, he would wave the large flag in his hand to replenish the clouds and prevent the black bird from breaking through.

"Senior Brother Lu." Hall Master Lu ran over.

"I thought you were dead?" Hall Master Liang said sarcastically.

"Hehe, almost, almost."

After all, Master Lu has been at the Foundation Establishment stage for many years. Even though he is still in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he has many ways to protect himself.

The attack from the black, strange bird, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, struck him, yet it didn't injure him.

"Keep a close eye on this strange bird, in case anything goes wrong!" Lu Chuanxing stopped the two from continuing their conversation.

This strange bird possesses demonic energy; there must be something fishy about it. We need to be careful.

Just then, a streak of silver light flashed across the sky, like a shooting star.

The meteor flew straight towards the black bird and pierced through its body!

The strange bird let out a fierce cry, which was extremely pitiful.

Then he fell down and landed on the ground.

Lu Chuanxing's eyes gleamed as he looked at the strange black bird.

A small silver sword was stuck in the body of the black bird, which fell to the ground motionless, its fate unknown.

"It's the inner sect senior brother. He's flying with a silver sword. I wonder if it's Uncle-Master Lu Yuanfeng or Senior Sister Ma Yulan?" Lu Chuanxing said.

"The Silver Light Flying Sword truly lives up to its name! It's terrifying!" Hall Master Liang said with some envy.

This silver flying sword is a treasure that everyone in the Foundation Establishment stage desires. It belongs to the half-step spiritual weapon category, and it is also an offensive half-step spiritual weapon.

With this method, one is basically invincible during the Foundation Establishment stage.

This silver flying sword is also known as the sword pellet, and those who cultivate this item are called sword cultivators.

As they were talking, a person descended from the sky and landed in front of Lu Chuanxing.

This man was dressed in a long blue robe, and his demeanor was sharp, like a long sword.

"Greetings, Uncle-Master Lu!" Lu Chuanxing bowed first, and the other two quickly followed suit.

"With such heavy casualties among the outer disciples, what crime should you two be punished for!" Lu Yuanfeng scanned the scene with his spiritual sense and knew the situation.

The black, strange bird killed more than fifty outer disciples; the scene was horrific.

"Reporting to Senior Uncle Lu, we had already arranged for the core disciples to evacuate this place before the incident. Those who died were mostly peripheral disciples and menial disciples," Lu Chuanxing quickly replied.

"Very good, you did well." Lu Yuanfeng said upon hearing Lu Chuanxing's words.

They breathed a sigh of relief; if many core disciples had died or been injured, it would have been a heavy blow to the Qingyun Sect.

In the eyes of the elite families of Qingyun Sect, the most important people are the direct descendants and the core disciples with good aptitude.

It wouldn't matter if a few of the remaining menial disciples and peripheral disciples from aristocratic families died.

"Go investigate and see what's wrong with this bird," Lu Yuanfeng ordered the three men.

Although he killed the strange bird with one sword, the bird possessed demonic energy, and he feared danger if he went directly forward.

Why not let these three junior brothers go and scout ahead?

The higher one's cultivation level, the more afraid one is of death.

Upon hearing what Lu Yuanfeng said, the three of them immediately changed their expressions.

"Uncle-Master Lu, why don't we send a few of the handymen disciples to take a look?" Hall Master Liang said, mustering his courage.

"This is utter nonsense! What can you possibly discern from a mere Qi Refining stage disciple?" Lu Yuanfeng criticized loudly, his aura suddenly surging forth.

Even though Master Liang was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, he was overwhelmed by this aura.

"Hurry up and go!"

With a bitter expression, Master Liang went to investigate the strange bird's corpse.

Lu Yuanfeng slashed open the chest of the black bird, revealing what was inside.

When Master Liang looked inside, he was instantly horrified.

It was completely empty inside, without a single internal organ!

He quickly retreated, shouting loudly as he went:

"Uncle-Master Lu! Save me!"

Sure enough, as soon as Hall Master Liang retreated, the strange black bird came back to life, or rather, it had never died at all.

"It's actually a demonic puppet!" Lu Yuanfeng arrived in an instant and stood in front of Hall Master Liang.

Then he flicked his fingers, and the silver flying sword on the black bird began to vibrate, stopping the bird's swooping motion.

Then the strange bird's body exploded, scattering black blood and flesh everywhere, but it was blocked by a series of magical light barriers and did not spread.

Lu Yuanfeng did not stop. His silver flying sword transformed into streaks of silver, slicing through the flesh and blood of every strange bird.

Until not a single piece remains.

"Uncle-Master Lu!" Hall Master Liang was still shaken after surviving the ordeal.

If it weren't for Lu Yuanfeng, he probably would have died here on the spot.

A demonic puppet is difficult for an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator to destroy. If it were to self-destruct at close range, even an early Foundation Establishment cultivator like him wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Fortunately, the one who came was the number one sword cultivator in the Ten Thousand Laws Battle. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to deal with this strange bird demonic puppet.

Lu Yuanfeng ignored Hall Master Liang. With a flick of his finger, the silver flying sword quickly flew back and landed in his palm.

A small silver pellet appeared in his hand; this was the sword pellet.

It needs to be carefully nurtured in the Dantian and Zifu area on a daily basis.

The sword pellet and the swordsman's mind and spirit were in perfect harmony!

"This is a matter of great importance that I cannot decide on my own; I need to pass on the order to the sect leader, my senior brother!"

Lu Yuanfeng said seriously.

The matter of the demonic puppet is of great importance; it will shake not only the Qingyun Sect but also all three major sects of Canglin City.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuanfeng transformed into a silver light and soared into the sky.

"Wait a minute, Uncle Lu." Just as Hall Master Liang was about to ask if he could take him back to the inner sect, Lu Yuanfeng had already disappeared.

"It's a demonic puppet! We'll have to be more careful from now on!" Lu Chuanxing said.

If it were just a demonic beast infected with demonic energy, it could be an accident, but if it's a demonic puppet, it means there must be people from the demonic path around.

Moreover, this person has also set his sights on their Qingyun Sect.

Such a momentous event, a war between the righteous and the demonic, even if they are at the Foundation Establishment stage, their lives are in danger!

Jiang Shi was completely unaware of the major event that had occurred in the martial arts arena.

He diligently practiced the "Golden Spirit Scripture" at home, instead of being at the martial arts training ground.

"Junior Brother Jiang! Junior Brother Jiang!"

Zhou Yuan's anxious shouts came from the courtyard.

Jiang Shi had no choice but to immediately stop and leave.

"Senior Brother Zhou, is there something urgent that requires your attention?"
