I'll make you the furnace and the cauldron, so you can refine Yin and Yang and prove the Great

Li Hanshan frowned: "What is it?"

Xiao An looked around to make sure no one was approaching before lowering his voice and saying, "Senior, when I was cultivating in the Netherworld, I discovered a powerful being at the Nascent Soul level. That person was wielding the Myriad Soul Banner and took away a large number of Golden Core Yin Souls from the depths of the ancestral land. I was almost captured by him too, but luckily I ran fast and escaped."

Li Hanshan's pupils contracted.

A Nascent Soul level expert? The Myriad Soul Banner? It took away the Golden Core Yin Soul?

"Did you see who it was?" he asked in a deep voice.

Xiao An shook his head: "That person was shrouded in black mist, making it impossible to see his face. But his aura was extremely terrifying, even stronger than the First Elder and Second Elder of the Hehuan Sect. Moreover, the Myriad Soul Banner in his hand was of extremely high grade, capable of taking away dozens of Golden Core Yin Souls with a single wave, making it impossible to resist."

Li Hanshan fell silent.

A Nascent Soul cultivator stronger than the First Elder and Second Elder, wielding the Myriad Soul Banner, was collecting the souls of Golden Core cultivators in the Netherworld... This made him think of an extremely ominous possibility.

Yinming Sect.

Although the Yinming Sect was destroyed, its remnants still exist. Back in Heyang County, they encountered a fake Core Formation Demon. If the Yinming Sect has Nascent Soul level monsters lurking in the shadows, they might get involved in this war against the Blood Fiend Sect.

Li Hanshan asked, "How long ago was this?"

Xiao An: "Half a month ago, after I escaped, I waited outside the Hehuan Sect for you to come out. After the Hehuan Sect's army was mobilized, I followed them until today when I finally found the opportunity to come over."

Li Hanshan understood.

The Hehuan Sect is protected by a powerful array, making it difficult for Xiao An to sneak into the sect undetected. Therefore, she waited outside the sect.

When the Hehuan Sect's army of cultivators was mobilized, there were Nascent Soul cultivators present, so Xiao An dared not approach rashly.

"You go first and hide in the soul banner."

"Yes, senior."

Xiao An transformed into a streak of black light and disappeared back into the Soul Banner. Li Hanshan withdrew his gaze, looking at the hazy sky in the distance, a shadow falling over his heart.

A day later, the airship formation continued northward.

After flying for another three days and three nights, the army of the Heavenly Demon Sect finally appeared ahead.

It was an equally magnificent fleet of flying ships, no less numerous than that of the Hehuan Sect. The flags of the Heavenly Demon Sect fluttered on the ships, and each ship exuded a dense demonic aura, appearing from afar like a black cloud.

The two armies met in the skies above the border of the Blood Fiend Sect, their banners fluttering and obscuring the sky.

Standing on the flying boat, Li Hanshan looked at the dark, densely packed flying boat formation of the Heavenly Demon Sect and was secretly amazed. The strength of the Heavenly Demon Sect was indeed no less than that of the Joyful Union Sect.

On the Hehuan Sect's side, a golden streak of light flew out from the flagship and landed between the two armies. The Third Elder stood with his hands behind his back, cupped his fists towards the Heavenly Demon Sect, and said, "The Third Elder of the Hehuan Sect has come here on the orders of the Sect Master to join your sect in attacking the Blood Fiend Sect."

A black streak of light also flew out from the Heavenly Demon Sect and landed opposite him. It was a burly middle-aged man with a resolute face and surging demonic energy around him, clearly also at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

"The Heavenly Demon Sect's protector has arrived with his army on the orders of the sect leader." The middle-aged man returned the greeting with clasped hands, his voice booming like a bell. "Your sect's arrival is timely. The Blood Fiend Sect is already on guard. We must act quickly and not give them a chance to catch their breath."

The Third Elder nodded: "There's no time to lose, let's set off immediately."

The two armies merged and flew majestically towards the heart of the Blood Fiend Sect.

Hundreds of flying boats, carrying nearly 20,000 cultivators, blotted out the sky with their overwhelming momentum. Wherever they passed, the mortals in the towns below knelt down and kowtowed, believing that heavenly soldiers and generals had descended.

Standing on the flying boat, Li Hanshan watched the Blood Fiend Sect's mountain gate draw ever closer, his unease growing stronger. The news Xiao An brought weighed heavily on his mind, making him feel that this battle would not be so simple.

really.

When the two armies were still a hundred miles away from the Blood Fiend Sect's mountain gate, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, countless rays of light appeared on the ground ahead. These rays rose from the ground and intertwined to form a huge net of light, enveloping the entire sky.

Formation!

The Blood Fiend Sect was prepared!

The Third Elder's expression changed, and he shouted sternly, "Halt! Form a defensive formation!"

But it was too late.

The net of light descended with incredible speed, trapping the armies of the Joyful Union Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect in the blink of an eye. The array patterns on the flying boats flickered violently, colliding with the net of light to create blinding sparks, but they were unable to break through at all.

At the same time, countless figures appeared in the surrounding void.

The cultivators of the Blood Fiend Sect surged in from all directions, densely packed, numbering at least tens of thousands. They wore blood-red robes, wielded blood-red blades, and their eyes were filled with bloodthirsty killing intent.

At the very front of the Blood Fiend Sect army stood three figures. Leading them was an old man with a sinister face, whose aura was clearly that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Behind him stood two Golden Core cultivators, both elders of the Blood Fiend Sect.

"The Blood Fiend Sect Master!" The Third Elder's voice trembled slightly.

But what alarmed Li Hanshan even more was another direction.

On the flank of the Blood Fiend Sect army, a group of black-robed cultivators emerged from the void. They were surrounded by an overwhelming aura of Yin and Sha, and held black soul banners on which countless distorted faces could be seen or hidden.

Yinming Sect!

The Yinming Sect and the Blood Fiend Sect have colluded!

The Third Elder's face turned ashen. The armies of the Joyful Union Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect were surrounded by the Blood Fiend Sect and the Yinming Sect, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Just then, an extremely terrifying aura soared into the sky from the flagship of the Hehuan Sect.

The aura was vast and boundless, as if the entire world was enveloped by it. A black figure flew out from the flagship and landed between the two armies.

Her black dress was as dark as ink, her long hair flowed like a waterfall, and her face was covered by a black veil.

The Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect!

The sect leader's gaze swept over the armies of the Blood Fiend Sect and the Yinming Sect, finally settling on the sect leader of the Blood Fiend Sect.

"I anticipated that you would pull this stunt."

As soon as he finished speaking, two even more terrifying auras erupted simultaneously from behind the Hehuan Sect army.

The First Elder and the Second Elder flew out of the flying boat and stood on either side of the Sect Master. The auras of the three Nascent Soul cultivators intertwined, like a mountain, making the cultivators of the Blood Fiend Sect and the Yinming Sect opposite them breathless.

Not only that,

Within the army of the Heavenly Demon Sect, three Nascent Soul auras also soared into the sky.
