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

A vast divine thought emanated from beyond heaven and earth, as if even time and space were about to stand still.

But Li Yang naturally wouldn't spare anyone; the sword light split off, aiming to swiftly kill Chu Miao.

But that divine thought actually pierced through the arena formation, imprisoning everything inside.

"Heh~"

A cold laugh came from the mouth of the Old Ancestor of the Setting Sun.

He did not use the wooden sword on his back, but simply flicked his finger.

"Zheng—!"

A sword aura, impossible for ordinary cultivators to detect, traversed ninety thousand miles of sky, causing the owner of that divine thought to bleed, staining the heavens with blood.

"Spare his life!"

The physical body of the master of that divine thought was severed, leaving only his primordial spirit to leave his body and head to Immortal City Number One.

"Go any further, and you will perish completely." The voice of the Old Ancestor of the Remnant Sun was calm, yet it exuded an undeniable majesty.

The owner of the divine thought was a woman of unparalleled beauty, whose primordial spirit was ten thousand feet in size, clearly an elder of the Myriad Thoughts Immortal Sect to which Chu Miao belonged.

"Chu Miao is my disciple; I was unaware of Xuanyuan's trip—"

"No need for further words," the Old Ancestor of the Remnant Sun interrupted directly. "She is not a three-year-old child. Cultivators must pay the price for their actions."

I don't want to reason with you.

"Unless I, a disciple of Xuanyuan, am willing to let them go, even if the leader of the Dao Alliance were to arrive in person, he could not stop this life-or-death battle."

The stunningly beautiful woman opened her mouth and sighed.

She had obviously heard about Li Yang's actions in the Ancient Immortal Realm. No matter how many benefits were promised, it was impossible to stop such a ruthless and extreme character from killing.

But unexpectedly, Li Yang actually accepted the Killing Sword Pill and refined Chu Miao's soul blood.

This scene left all the sword cultivators who had followed Li Yang completely bewildered.

While Li Yang was immobilized, Chu Miao secretly communicated something, which actually made Li Yang release him.

This is incredible.

Even in the Ancient Immortal Secret Realm, facing such a desperate situation, Li Yang did not let Ye Zhi Qiu go. Why is he letting Chu Miao go now?

However, what happened next made them understand.

The arena formation closed, and Li Yang, holding Chu Miao's soul blood, grabbed her by the neck like a dead dog and headed straight for his grandmaster Yun Qingxuan.

He bowed respectfully and said, "This woman colluded with a demon, exchanging information about that demon for her life. That demon is a wanted person by the Dao Alliance."

As he spoke, he glanced at the primordial spirit of the great figure from the Myriad Thoughts Immortal Sect.

"Chu Miao's life is now in my hands. If I don't see that evil spirit, I will definitely take her life."

Even when facing such a big shot, Li Yang was not intimidated:

"Three days! If I don't see that demon in three days, I will kill him immediately!"

For Li Yang, the only possibility of letting Chu Miao go is to find a demon more worthy of his killing than Chu Miao.

Chu Miao cannot be let off the hook either. He brought this matter out into the open, showing he had no intention of letting this woman go.

As for Chu Miao's collusion with demons and her dual cultivation relationship with them, that's something the Sword Alliance should investigate.

After this incident, even if Chu Miao didn't commit murder, he shouldn't expect to escape unscathed from the Sword Alliance.

The powerful figure from the Myriad Thoughts Immortal Sect acted decisively. After learning the basic situation from Chu Miao, he captured the demon within a day.

"Let me go! Senior, Chu Miao from your sect and I are a couple who have secretly pledged our lives to each other. We're on the same side!"

The woman's face was ashen; she had already searched her soul.

This Nascent Soul demon originated from a great lineage and committed heinous acts that defied all reason, thus being wanted by the Dao Alliance.

But with his handsome appearance and manipulative skills, he got involved with Chu Miao.

The reason Chu Miao came to the Xuanyuan Sword Sect to kill Li Yang was because of the idea given by this evil spirit. He taught Chu Miao a secret technique that could steal a person's talent, which was extremely vicious.

"What?! The Xuanyuan Sword Sect! Why did you bring me here!?"

The Nascent Soul demon panicked.

Seeing Chu Miao being held captive by Li Yang, he immediately understood.

"You—! You actually betrayed me!"

The woman handed the demon, whose cultivation had been sealed, to the Old Ancestor Remnant Sun.

"Senior, it was he who bewitched my disciple. Today I have captured him, and I hope that he can be returned to my poor disciple who was deceived."

"He can't go back." Ancestor Remnant Sun shook his head, his gaze falling on the middle-aged man with the Sword Alliance token at his waist. "This Sword Alliance's Third Commander Sword Envoy has come specifically to handle this matter. This demon and your disciple must be handed over. The Sword Alliance will judge what punishment they will receive."

The woman frowned, but she knew that it would be good enough if she could survive in a fight to the death.

As for what happens next, it might be possible to do things behind the scenes, but whether Chu Miao can ultimately be released depends on whether her crime does not warrant death.

"Li Yang, you should also go to the Sword Alliance. With your firm belief in eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path, becoming a swordsman is most suitable for you. In the future, you will also have a legitimate identity and title for eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path," Yun Qingxuan said.

Li Yang sat cross-legged in the void, his injuries already healed.

Through a second rebirth and tempering, his physical body has surpassed that of ordinary body cultivators.

"Yes, Grandmaster."

"Qingqiu, you're also going to get certified as a Sword Envoy with your junior brother, hoping to obtain the title of Three-Tier Sword Envoy," said Ancestor Canyang casually.

"Don't find it troublesome; take your junior brother as your role model."

Lu Qingqiu used to hate becoming a swordsman, thinking it was a waste of time and that she would rather cultivate.

However, after the Ancient Immortal Realm, her state of mind was greatly improved. She shed the title of the sect leader's daughter and put her identity as a sword cultivator first.

"Yes, Ancestor."

immediately--

Li Yang and Lu Qingqiu followed behind the Sword Alliance envoy, who was at the Integration Stage, and headed straight for the Sword Alliance with the imprisoned Chu Miao and the demon.

After the Old Ancestor of the Setting Sun returned to the depths of the Taixi Mountains, a voice rang out:

"How's that kid?"

"Absolutely amazing." Ancestor Remnant Sun stroked his beard and praised sincerely, "At first, I was reluctant to come out of seclusion to support this kid. But now it seems absolutely necessary. Not because of his talent, but because of his ability to cause trouble."

Given his extreme personality, if he were to catch someone, most of the righteous people would be doomed.

Having the identity of a Sword Alliance Swordsman is a bit better, but I wonder how many levels of Swordsman certification he can obtain.

"Three divisions, perhaps. Four divisions of sword wielders are too rare. It's not that they lack the strength, but rather that meeting the requirements to become a sword wielder of all four divisions simultaneously is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Only a freakish individual who is both righteous and wicked could achieve that. Especially since there is also the Division for Exterminating the Extraordinary, which targets extraterrestrial demons."

"Don't think about it so much." Another voice appeared, seemingly the most prestigious among the ancestors. "According to the latest news from the Dao Alliance, the space in Immortal Remnant State has been extremely chaotic recently. Some Supreme Beings who have been training have seen a vast continent in the direction of the boundary near Kun State. It is the sum of several states. The demonic energy is soaring into the sky. It is estimated that a war is about to break out."

If it were bordering Xunzhou or Kanzhou, it wouldn't matter, one is mainly inhabited by demons and the other by demonic cultivators. But Kunzhou is entirely inhabited by humans, and is mainly inhabited by Kun cultivators, so its overall strength is far inferior to that of Qianzhou.

Our Xuanyuan Sword Sect must prepare for this matter well in advance; otherwise, once war breaks out, the casualties will reach a terrifying number.

"You can worry about this matter yourselves. I need to keep an eye on that kid," said the Old Ancestor of the Remnant Sun, shaking his head.

But the voice said, "From a macro perspective, within the Kunzhou region, there is only one major lineage that first directly clashed with the demon race continent—the Ning family!"

That kid seems to have a very close relationship with Ning Qingfeng from the Ning family; he'll be going sooner or later. You can keep an eye on him while you're there.”

"..." Old Ancestor Remnant Sun complained, "So you're just blaming me for all this trouble!"
