Sixty years of blacksmithing, a single hammer blow forging a celestial being.

Upon hearing this, Hongling froze.

He then explained casually, "I was just standing up for a friend of mine!"

"I cannot accept this!"

The Holy Lord sneered:

"How dare you, a junior, humiliate the Holy Maiden of my Lingtian Holy Land? Today you will pay the price!"

After saying that, the Holy Lord waved his hand.

A beam of golden light suddenly shot out from his palm.

It shot at Hong Ling without warning.

Upon seeing this, Honglian's enormous body immediately strode forward and blocked Hongling's path.

With a muffled thud, the golden light struck the massive body of the Red Lotus.

It was like an extremely thin ray striking a mountain.

The difference is striking.

But the next moment, Honglian's face was filled with pain.

The enormous body was actually knocked back several steps by the beam of light.

He couldn't help but look up at the sky and howl in anguish.

Suddenly, the purple aura around his body began to leak out wildly.

In less than a few breaths, Honglian's enormous body suddenly shrank.

It returned to its previous appearance.

At this moment, Honglian was no longer the arrogant woman she had been before.

His face was pale, he clutched his chest, and his expression was full of pain.

With a casual gesture, the Holy Lord restored the Red Lotus's Dharma Body to its original form.

Seeing this, Li Ping'an was stunned.

What kind of strength is this? It's way too strong!

He had just witnessed Honglian taking advantage of her large size.

They acted recklessly here, smashing other people's homes to pieces.

Nobody dares to utter a single fart.

But when the Holy Lord appeared, he simply pointed a finger and the red lotus was reduced to its original form.

This strength is truly terrifying!

Seeing how powerful this Holy Lord was, Hong Ling decided it was wise not to suffer a loss.

As he plucked the strings, an extremely powerful melody emanated from them.

Its sound resounded throughout the entire world.

Seeing this, the Holy Lord snorted coldly, "Shut up!"

He then waved his hand, and a powerful stream of air shot out from his palm.

He forcefully slapped back the string that Hongling had plucked.

However, taking advantage of this brief moment, Hongling and Honglian simultaneously vanished from this world.

"Lord Lingtian, we'll remember this grudge! Don't think you can swagger in front of us sisters just because you're powerful! One day I'll beat you so badly you won't be able to lift your head!"

The two disappeared, but Honglian's arrogant voice still echoed in this world for a long time.

The Holy Lord stood with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction where the two had disappeared, his brow furrowed.

The two of them escaped incredibly fast.

He originally intended to keep the two of them to give them a good talking-to and restore the prestige of his Lingtian Holy Land.

Unexpectedly, the two of them escaped.

In an instant, the Holy Lord lost his will to fight and became disheartened.

Looking at the entire sect in ruins, he slowly spoke to the four sect leaders.

"Those two witches have already escaped and shouldn't be returning anytime soon. You should focus on repairing and restoring your sect! Our Lingtian Holy Land will also send people to help you repair your sect."

After all, the four major sects are all under the jurisdiction of the Lingtian Holy Land.

As a holy land, Lingtian Holy Land naturally commands considerable power.

They are all under its jurisdiction.

The Lingtian Holy Land alone has hundreds of sects that bow down and submit to it.

Every year, they would present a considerable amount of tribute and outstanding disciples.

That Saintess Lu Xue climbed step by step from an inner disciple of a sect to the Lingtian Holy Land.

She became the Holy Maiden of the Lingtian Holy Land.

It can be described as an inspirational story of an ordinary person rising to a high position.

However, while the holy land enjoys the offerings and worship of these sects,

They are also responsible for protecting the safety of these sects.

When these sects fight and kill each other, people from the Holy Land will occasionally step in to mediate and intervene.

For example, a hundred years ago, there were four major sects: the Crimson Fire Sect, the Eastern Sacred Sect, the Giant Elephant Sect, and the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The daily battles for the resources of Misty Valley have resulted in countless casualties every year.

Finally, the people from Lingtian Holy Land stepped in and stipulated that the method of sending disciples to undergo trials would be used to obtain resources from Misty Valley.

For example, today the four major sects were almost wiped out by two witches.

It was the Holy Lord of the Lingtian Holy Land who stepped in and quelled the war.

However, to the surprise of the four sect leaders, it was actually the Holy Lord himself who made the appearance this time.

This is truly a grand display.

Although the Holy Lord did not help them reclaim the sect's sacred treasure.

But the crowd still rushed over like lapdogs and knelt before the Holy Lord.

"Thank you, Holy Lord, for your timely rescue! Our sect was in grave danger!"

The Holy Lord nodded and said.

"Alright, now that the witch's gone, I'm heading back to the Holy Land!"

After saying that, he turned to look at the Holy Maiden Lu Xue.

"Your Dao heart is probably not completely finished yet, so continue to train here. When you are certain that you can cultivate the Dustless Heart Technique, then return to the Holy Land."

After saying that, the Holy Lord's figure vanished from the spot.

Watching the Holy Lord's figure disappear, Lu Xue couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

His fists were also clenched tightly.

He returned to the sect this time for Li Ping'an.

But I never expected so many things to happen along the way.

Fortunately, Li Ping'an is still alive.

At this moment, Li Ping'an was being supported by two disciples on either side.

His weapon pouches were also thoroughly searched.

"Good! You, Li Ping'an! You're actually a remnant of the demon race! I was just cheering and applauding you for winning the championship in the trial grounds! I never expected you to be a spy for the demon race! What a disappointment!"

It should be noted that Honglian and Hongling destroyed all four major sects.

They killed and injured a group of cultivators, and even demolished their homes.

They had long harbored a deep-seated hatred for these two.

Unfortunately, these two were simply too powerful, and now they have vanished without a trace.

He could only vent all his anger on Li Ping'an.

Many people rushed up and started punching and kicking Li Ping'an.

Helpless, Li Ping'an could only curl up as much as possible to avoid being hit in vital areas.

However, he was still beaten black and blue, spitting blood, and looked quite pathetic.

Li Ping'an, the former manager of the abandoned hall, had long since lost his reputation.

His only option was execution.

A group of disciples from the abandoned hall watched from afar as Li Ping'an was being suppressed by the people from the Enforcement Hall.

They gritted their teeth, their eyes filled with rage.

Long Yun then slapped a large tree beside him and said.

"No! Li Ping'an couldn't possibly be a remnant of the demon race!"

"That's right! He couldn't possibly have any connection with the demons!"

"Old Li is such a good person, how could he possibly be a demon? There must be some misunderstanding! He must have been framed!"

The group of disciples from the abandoned hall were all very sad and heartbroken.

Li Ping'an was the spiritual pillar and soul of their abandoned hall.

Now, seeing Li Ping'an in such a sorry state, being captured by someone.

The group of disciples from the abandoned hall were so angry they were itching to bite.

He wished he could go and rescue Li Ping'an right now.

However, due to his extremely weak strength, he could only watch helplessly as his head was subjected to torture.

"Li Ping'an, I never imagined you were actually a demon!"

Liu Jinhu shook his head while holding Li Ping'an.

He used to admire Li Ping'an quite a bit.

A resilient person who slowly rose from humble beginnings.
