Ning Yue frowned and thought for a moment.

She suddenly remembered that she seemed to have once attracted heavenly lightning to the Purgatory Sect.

I heard that they burned many of the precious ancient books and cultivation techniques of the Purgatory Sect.

That's probably why.

The Purgatory Sect is probably just itching to absorb the other smaller sects...

"Qi Bei is currently unable to touch the other three major sects."

However, if this continues for a long time, it's very likely that the major sects will also merge with the Purgatory Sect.

"The Fusang Sect previously sent out many disciples, many of whom are now in smaller sects. Who knows if they might end up in the Purgatory Sect."

This is a very bad situation, Shi Yinghan and Ning Yue thought at the same time.

Ning Yue immediately told Ji Liyan that all the disciples of the Purgatory Sect had sacrificed themselves to feed the demon.

This was said by the Soul-Seizing Elder of the Purgatory Sect, and Shi Yinghan was also present as a witness.

Ji Liyan frowned in disbelief, raising his hand to clutch his aching chest: "...Is this real?"

"It couldn't be more real," Ning Yue nodded.

Yang Fei took a deep breath: "What is that old guy trying to do? Does he really want to ruin the entire cultivation world?!"

Duan Huailin frowned and said, "At the rate at which the Purgatory Sect is merging with smaller sects, the disciples of those smaller sects are in great danger..."

Song Yishi: "The Purgatory Sect should already be the top sect. Is it still necessary for Qi Bei to continue to have his disciples sacrifice themselves to feed the demon? This is not a good thing."

Jiang Yishen: "Not necessarily. Judging from Qi Bei's appearance, what kind of heinous things wouldn't he do?"

Lu Qingyan nodded in agreement.

"There are still many outstanding disciples in each sect. If Qi Bei wants to maintain his position as the top sect, he needs to improve the strength of his disciples."

"...In other words, it is very likely that he will continue to feed the demon with his own body."

"What can we do now?" Ning Yue asked Ji Liyan.

"...There's nothing we can do," Ji Liyan said, shaking his head.

"The demon cave in the upper realm has not been sealed off. As long as Qi Bei wants, he can continuously summon demons."

"Although the number of powerful demons is limited, the number of low-level demons is large and they are troublesome."

Moreover, even disregarding the demons, we can't defeat Qi Bei alone. Therefore, our most urgent task is to improve our cultivation level.

Ning Yue propped his head up with his hand and asked, "Senior brother, will the Demon Clan's twelve seats be filled by new vacancies?"

"We have already killed the second and fourth seats in the lower realm, and the first seat has also been sealed away by the sect leader in the Fusang Sect."

"Wouldn't this significantly reduce the demon race's combat strength?"

Ji Liyan opened his eyes wide in shock, slowly looked at Ning Yue, and said, word by word.

"...You killed the Second and Fourth Seats!?"

"Not only that..." Ning Yue nodded, "but they also wiped out all the demons in the lower realm, probably all of them."

After all, if Qi Bei agreed to let the demons come down to the mortal realm to eat people, he must have sent all the demons down to the mortal realm.

Otherwise, the remaining demons would definitely be dissatisfied, and it would be difficult to explain to the other sects.

Ji Liyan's mouth was half-closed, and he felt that he was somewhat at a loss for words.

Although he knew that Qi Bei had sent demons down to eat people, he still believed that Ning Yue and the others had only protected the palace.

Those large numbers of demons voluntarily withdrew after they had eaten and drunk their fill.

To everyone's surprise, it was Ning Yue and his group who wiped out the entire demon race!

They've wiped them out!?

Ji Liyan looked as if he was questioning the meaning of life, and spoke to Ning Yue very seriously.

"Tell your senior brother, what level have you reached?"

Ning Yue smiled and released his pressure, the strength of the Nascent Soul stage was overwhelming, almost making Ji Liyan lose his senses.

"He was suppressed to the Nascent Soul stage in the lower realm. If he were in the upper realm, he would have to be at the Deity Transformation stage, and he would have to break through another realm."

Ji Liyan, whose cultivation was suppressed to the Qi Refining stage, looked confused: "Is this right...?"

Shouldn't it be the Qi Refining stage in the lower realm?

What exactly happened?

Noticing Ji Liyan's expression, everyone realized that their senior brother's cultivation level was at the Qi Refining stage.

Shi Yinghan explained, "Senior brother, you don't know, we weren't strong enough when we were competing for the twelfth seat."

Junior Sister shared her blood with us, which allows us to recover part of our cultivation level under the suppression of the Realm-Suppressing Stone…”

"Yes, yes, senior brother, you don't know!" Yang Fei exclaimed loudly.

"But when we fought for the fourth seat, we weren't strong enough. Junior Sister shattered the pressure stone, and everyone recovered their full strength! That was so cool!"

"After being suppressed for so long, to suddenly regain your full strength, Senior Brother, do you know what it feels like to feel so light and free?!"

Ji Liyan mumbled, confused, "...I don't know."

Yang Fei pointed with emotion in the direction of the boundary stone outside.

"See that pressure stone? What you see now is something we painstakingly pieced back together."

Ji Liyan: "..."

Ji Liyan almost lost his language system, but fortunately he finally recovered.

Answering a question Ning Yue asked a long time ago.

"Although the twelfth seat will be filled, it probably won't be so soon."

Because last time, my father killed the third and fifth seats in a row, and decades have passed without any new ones appearing..."

"But things might be different now," Ji Liyan said, changing the subject.

"The Demon Clan suffered too many losses this time. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the top five seats are completely unusable, and they will likely accelerate the process of filling vacancies."

Ning Yue didn't know much about the Demon Clan and had some doubts.

"Who arranged these seats? Does the demon race have leaders like demon kings? Won't the demons be angry about these losses? Won't they retaliate?"

Ji Liyan smiled and shook his head.

"There is no such thing as a Demon King, but we don't know exactly how the Demon race came into being. Their positions are earned through fighting within their own race."

"If that's the case, then the number one spot is probably what you'd call the Demon King..."

The demon race has already suffered a significant loss of combat power.

It will be difficult to recover in a short period of time.

Ning Yue: "It seems we need to improve our cultivation level as soon as possible."

Ning Yue calculated her own strength. If she could defeat Qi Bei, she would have to ensure that her strength was at least at the Integration Stage.

Even a difference of just one minor realm between cultivators can result in a world of difference in their strength.

However, Ning Yue possesses too many strange and powerful spells, which can probably make up for the gap of one major realm.

Qi Bei's current strength is at the Integration stage, but as he improves his own realm, Qi Bei's realm will definitely also improve.

Just in case, the higher the level, the better!

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing Ning Yue's words.

Whether it's to revitalize the sect or to defend against future attacks from the demon race.

Improving one's cultivation level is an urgent matter.

"...So we still have to go back to the Upper Realm?" Yang Fei asked.

"Otherwise, the spiritual energy in the lower realms would not be enough to support our cultivation."

"That's right." Ji Liyan nodded thoughtfully. "...We have to return to the Upper Realm."
