I just want to kill you all, or be killed by you all.

After revealing their cultivator aura to the steward, the two were taken to the Bai family's residence.

Even in ordinary county towns, there are cultivators who practice Qi Refining. Yongning County governs dozens of counties, and as a family in the county, the Bai family also has cultivators stationed there.

It is said that one of the Bai family's ancestors was a Golden Core expert who had been in seclusion for many years.

Moreover, many members of the family have joined nearby cultivation sects, resulting in a thriving and enduring family.

However, these cultivation sects are mostly small sects, with their founders only at the Nascent Soul stage.

The training ground had already gathered a considerable number of cultivators of all kinds.

Those with a refined and understated spirit are distinguished by their attire and are very likely to come from a lineage of the Great Dao.

Some also exude an aura, sitting regally on lotus thrones, like immortals banished from heaven.

Li Yang glanced at Ning Xinyao.

His eyes seemed to ask: "Aren't you the only one who knows? It seems like everyone knows who your Ning family patriarch is."

"Qi cultivation?" A Foundation Establishment cultivator glanced at Li Yang and kindly reminded him, "My friend, this is not a place for you. You'd better leave as soon as possible."

Li Yang looked around and indeed found that he was the only one who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, while everyone else was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

There are even two people at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

It seems like the competition is quite fierce.

"I have come to eliminate demons and uphold justice, nothing else," Li Yang said, bowing slightly.

Since the other party meant well, we should treat them with courtesy.

At this time.

Upon hearing Li Yang's speech, a small group of sword cultivators approached.

"Fellow Daoist, are you also fighting to eliminate demons and uphold justice?"

The leader did not carry a sword, but his aura was even more imposing than a sword. His eyes were like two pools of sword light, capable of shooting out sword light.

These are six Foundation Establishment sword cultivators from the Sword Alliance.

These six people come from different sword-cultivation sects or are independent cultivators, but they all share the same identity—sword wielders.

Under the Dao Alliance are the Pill Alliance, the Array Alliance, the Talisman Alliance, and so on.

The Sword Alliance is a very special entity—

It possesses external law enforcement authority, which was granted by the Dao Alliance.

Its internal law enforcement system consists of four major departments: the Department of Heavenly Patrol, the Department of Exorcising Evil, the Department of Suppressing Demons, and the Department of Criminal Law.

These are the four sharp swords that the Dao Alliance uses to maintain stability in the cultivation world.

In particular, the Department of Criminal Law, in addition to monitoring the internal sword wielders, also investigates and adjudicates cases of collusion between cultivation forces and evil spirits, as well as inaction in the face of natural disasters and man-made calamities.

Li Yang performed a sword gesture salute, and the six people on the other side returned the salute in kind.

"I have heard that evil spirits have been wreaking havoc in Yongning County recently, harming innocent people everywhere. Therefore, I have come to uphold justice, expel evil, and quell the demons!"

These words were spoken with righteous indignation, and a chilling aura immediately spread.

The six men dared not underestimate them.

As fellow sword cultivators, the leading youth immediately recognized Li Yang's extraordinary strength and extended an olive branch:

"Since we share the same purpose in coming here, why don't you join us, fellow Daoist? We can form a sword formation to slay enemies, and even Golden Core demons will be subdued!"

Li Yang glanced at Ning Xinyao and shook his head slightly:

"Let's talk about it later."

The young man was somewhat disappointed, but he didn't say anything.

"Then let's exchange communication jade talismans, so we can help each other if anything happens."

Li Yang nodded and took out his communication jade talisman.

The two bumped into each other.

The young man was taken aback, then a smile appeared on his lips.

"Hehe~"

He had already recognized who Li Yang was.

Because the two had already exchanged communication jade talismans.

However, he did not expose him; Li Yang had his reasons for not revealing his identity.

"Do you know him?" Ning Xinyao asked telepathically.

"We're good friends, but when I met him, he was still practicing Qigong."

Li Yang was somewhat moved.

While I was practicing Qi cultivation, others were also practicing Qi cultivation.

Others have already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, while I'm still refining my Qi.

However, he was, after all, a prodigy of the Qiankun Sword Sect, and his cultivation speed was far beyond what I could match.

"Relax, cultivation cannot be rushed, it will come naturally," Ning Xinyao comforted her as her senior sister.

"I'm not in a hurry. Killing a few more demons will make me feel better than breaking through."

Ning Xinyao's lips twitched.

The next morning arrived quickly.

The night was very quiet.

Nearly a hundred cultivators gathered at the Bai Mansion Martial Arts Arena.

There were also frictions, but they all went outside the county town to settle their grievances.

The servants of the Bai family served various spiritual fruits and delicacies to entertain the guests, which was very thoughtful.

When there are many people around, Li Yang is just a nobody, silently watching these outstanding talents emerge.

He has no interest in socializing.

However, he absolutely did not believe that there were no evil spirits mixed in among the nearly one hundred cultivators.

After a night of observation, Li Yang identified three people.

One of them was dressed in luxurious robes and exuded an undisguised demonic aura.

This was a demonic cultivator, exceptionally handsome, yet not repulsive.

Li Yang learned from the conversation that the other party came from the Devouring Heaven Demon Palace and had a domineering technique, but it was not an evil technique such as devouring human essence and blood.

The boundaries of demonic cultivators have always been blurred. Unless they are wanted by the Dao Alliance or caught practicing evil arts, no one is willing to provoke them.

On the contrary, it was her outstanding looks, figure, talent, and background that attracted many beautiful female cultivators to take the initiative to chat with her.

But in Li Yang's opinion, this guy was definitely not a good person, because there was not a single good demonic cultivator.

The second person was a cultivator in a feathered crown and brocade robe, who appeared to be a rogue cultivator.

Although he possessed no demonic aura, his eyes were extremely aggressive, carrying an air of superiority that Li Yang instinctively disliked.

The last one stood out, with striking golden eyes.

The reason I noticed this person was because they possessed a very strong demonic aura.

It is very likely a transformed demon beast!

Normally, demonic beasts can only transform into human form after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, but there are also pure-blooded demonic beasts with extremely high bloodlines who can transform into human form at birth.

The relationship between human cultivators and low-level demonic beasts is simply one of hunter and hunted.

However, the relationship with high-bloodline demon beasts is very delicate; they will not easily offend them, but they will not become close friends with them either.

There's nothing inherently wrong with this person; it's just that Li Yang's philosophy is very extreme.

Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!

In the blink of an eye, a wisp of purple light appeared on the eastern horizon, like a dragon swimming across the sky.

Just then—

The demon prince of the Devouring Heaven Demon Palace activated his cultivation technique and took a deep breath.

The purple aura that swept across was instantly torn apart like a whale sucking in water, transforming into a thick purple stream that instantly disappeared into its belly.

Seeing this scene.

Li Yang shook his head instead.

In my heart, I rejected the idea that this person was a demon.

The fact that the other party dared to reveal their identity and openly demonstrate the wonders of their cultivation technique shows that they are simply a demonic cultivator, and have nothing to do with evil.

"Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality as you have come from afar."

A figure stepped through the air.

Wearing the Bai family patriarch's token at his waist, he exuded the aura of a Golden Core cultivator.

The old man exuded an imposing aura, clearly someone who had long held a high position.

However, he dared not be arrogant in the face of this group of young cultivators.

"Considering that Yongning County is now surrounded by evil spirits, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the wedding, I have increased the number of guards from fifteen to thirty."

From a practical standpoint, the selection rules should be more appropriate:

My Bai family ancestor once obtained a treasure called the Asura Battle Disc—”

As he spoke, the Bai family patriarch held up an iron plate in his hand, its entire surface jet black, as if it had been soaked in blood.

It is covered with densely engraved patterns, and upon closer inspection, they are actually battlefield maps composed of mountains, rivers, cities, and wastelands.

Scattered on it are more than a hundred bronze soldiers, their armor clearly defined and lifelike.

With a wave of his hand, the Bai family patriarch sent over a hundred bronze soldiers flying out and landing in front of everyone on the training ground.

Then it was introduced that:

"The Asura Battle Disc contains a battlefield world. After you refine a soldier, you can put your consciousness into it and inherit all your cultivation."

If you have a magic weapon, you can also send it into the soldier's inner space. It's absolutely fair and just!

You won't die inside, but if you receive a fatal wound, you'll be forcibly kicked out.

"Until the last thirty men are left."
