I manage female characters in all the heavens.

However, one can also actively release their aura for other purposes, such as deflecting an opponent's moves in a more subtle way than "Transferring Flowers and Jade," or restricting the enemy's movements, or, like "Iron Heart Orchid" is doing now, using it for flight.

Before today, "Tie Xinlan" was already able to use the suction power of the suction technique to borrow strength from the air above and fly like she was suspended by wires, but that was ultimately just a matter of brute force, without any finesse or agility.

But things are different now. Mingyu's nine-layered spiral aura is as responsive as an arm, allowing for the most precise manipulation. It can spread out and borrow power from the surrounding air to fly freely and flexibly.

This method is theoretically something any highly skilled expert can do, like Yan Nantian, but it consumes a lot of energy and is generally not used unless absolutely necessary. However, Mingyu Jiuceng is not afraid of consuming energy!

Having achieved the ninth level of Mingyu, "Tie Xinlan" has undoubtedly conquered the sky.

"From this day forward, I will stand in the heavens." She lowered her eyes slightly, looking down at the three people on the ground, exuding a divine majesty, and slowly rose into the air.

Sunlight streamed down from the vanished rooftop, casting her slender silhouette, like a radiant deity or a demon emerging from hell.

"Tie Xinlan" flew out of the Elders' Hall, and the bright sunlight shone on her, coating her with a golden halo.

She opened her arms wide to embrace the sun, took a deep breath, and felt the newborn, surging power within her like a tidal wave, her face filled with ecstasy.

The thirty-six elders of the Demon Extermination Alliance were all top-notch experts. Although their power had been sacrificed, their combined martial arts insights were truly extraordinary, helping her break through the last barrier of the Mingyu Skill in one fell swoop.

The true energy was purified and compressed again. The original 10 units of Mingyu seventh-layer true energy has now been transformed into 5 units of Mingyu ninth-layer true energy.

Although her true energy appeared to have decreased, its power had increased exponentially, causing her strength to rise once again. In this world, she had absolutely nothing to fear.

Neither Yaoyue nor Yan Nantian are now truly her greatest enemies. Even if the two of them joined forces, there was no way they could defeat her.

At this moment, the Mingyu True Qi within her body was like an icy river, surging endlessly through her meridians, yet forming a strange vortex in her dantian that kept rotating, forming the basis of the spiral energy field.

With the help of this constantly spinning vortex, Mingyu Gong's boundless power can become passive.

Even though flying in the sky with the spiral energy field at this moment consumes a lot of true energy every moment, under the recycling of the vortex, the one thousand used is recovered ninety-nine times, which is equivalent to no consumption!

"Awesome!" she couldn't help but sigh softly, a satisfied smile playing on her lips.

Instead of landing, she flew directly into the air to a higher altitude, a spiraling aura swirling around her, steadily lifting her hundreds of meters in the air.

Looking down from her vantage point, she was preparing to use her inner energy to summon Mingyue Xin, also known as Jiang Yuyan, so that she could leave the Demon Extermination Alliance. After all, she had finished what she needed to do here, and she couldn't stay any longer after doing what she was doing now.

However, her gaze suddenly stopped when it swept down.

The square outside the council chamber was now packed with people.

Swords and spears filled the sky, and banners blotted out the sun.

The 60,000-strong demon-slaying army had already assembled and surrounded the entire council of elders.

Countless gazes, filled with shock, all turned and locked onto her.

Xie Guiyuan and Wei Wuyuan, two top experts, were also in front of the crowd, looking up at her with utter shock.

It turned out that Lu Zhongyuan had sensed something was wrong before coming to the Elders' Council and had arranged for someone else to inform Yan Nantian.

He was instructed to use his reputation to mobilize the 60,000-strong demon-slaying army and gather them outside the Elders' Council so that he could receive orders to surround Mingyue Xin immediately and protect the Elders' Council. As a result, he inadvertently blocked the Great Demon Ying Ri.

Lord Yingri was taken aback at first, then a playful smile appeared on his lips.

“Interesting.” Yingri licked her lips, her smile growing wider. “This has really set a great stage for me.”

It would be so boring if she left quietly.

Now that 60,000 troops have gathered, and almost all the masters in the martial arts world are here, it's the perfect opportunity for her to show off!

She cleared her throat, about to say something, when suddenly—

boom--!!!

A deafening roar came from another direction of the Alliance headquarters!

The sound was so loud that even the earth trembled slightly!

Immediately following were the continuous sounds of buildings collapsing and the explosions of colliding internal energy, as if two ancient behemoths were fiercely fighting!

Everyone involuntarily turned their heads to look, only to see smoke and dust rising into the sky in that direction, sand and stones flying everywhere, and buildings collapsing and breaking apart amidst the roar!

"What's going on?!"

"Such a powerful clash of internal energy! Someone is fighting!"

"That direction... is Mingyue Xin!"

An uproar erupted within the Demon Extermination Army.

Lord Yingri also narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in that direction.

Of the two combatants, she was extremely familiar with the aura of one of them: Jiang Yuyan.

The other person's aura was as scorching as the sun and as fierce as a volcano, carrying an indomitable determination and anger—Yan Nantian!

The two of them actually started fighting!

After Gongzi Yu's death, Yan Nantian was devastated, but he was unable to investigate Mingyue Xin, the prime suspect, because she was too powerful.

So he returned to the secret chamber and swallowed the remaining five Azure Golden Pills in one go, forcibly restoring his power ahead of schedule despite the huge risk of them bursting.

He had just recovered when he received a message from Lu Zhongyuan. He first summoned the entire demon-slaying army to gather outside the Elders' Council in his own name, as Lu Zhongyuan had requested.

Then, confident in his own strength, he went to capture Mingyue Xin on his own, intending to take her down without relying on a large army, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties.

As it turned out, Mingyue Xin was indeed a peerless master. Yan Nantian, who had just recovered his strength, could only fight her to a standstill. They fought all the way from Mingyue Xin's residence to here, and half of the Demon Extermination Alliance headquarters was reduced to ruins!

boom--!!!

Another, even louder explosion!

A figure flew backward from that direction, crashing through several walls before finally slamming heavily into a pile of rubble at the edge of the square!

But almost immediately, a figure burst out from the rubble, surrounded by a chilling aura; it was Jiang Yuyan.

Although blood seeped from the corner of her mouth beneath the mask, her gaze remained cold and sharp, indicating that she had not suffered any serious injury.

Immediately afterward, an even more imposing figure strode after them from that direction!

With each step he took, the ground trembled slightly, as if an ancient ferocious beast was approaching!

Under the sunlight, a resolute and furious face was revealed—Yan Nantian!

He was shirtless, his muscles bulging, and his body was enveloped in a layer of crimson true energy. He held a thick sword in his hand, like a war god emerging from flames!

That blazing aura enveloped the heavens and earth, as if it were about to set the entire Demon Extermination Alliance ablaze!

Yan Nantian is indeed too strong, and he gets stronger with each battle. His strength continues to improve during the fight, completely surpassing his previous peak and continuing to climb!

In fact, Yaoyue is no match for him now; he is already showing signs of suppressing Jiang Yuyan.

The two fought as they moved, causing buildings to collapse, the ground to crack, and dust to billow in their wake, just like two giant dragons battling it out!

Jiang Yuyan struck out with her palm, and the icy cold true energy transformed into a sky full of frost, causing the air to condense into fine ice crystals wherever it passed.

Yan Nantian swung his sword across the sky, and the crimson sword energy erupted like a volcano, evaporating all the frost in the sky!

The two fought from the east side of the street to the west side, and then from the west side to the east side. The buildings along the way crumbled and collapsed like paper in the aftershocks of their battle!

The soldiers of the Demon Extermination Army were stunned and retreated to clear the battlefield, fearing that they would be affected by the terrifying aftershocks.

In the sky, "Tie Xinlan" watched the fierce battle below, a hint of appreciation flashing in her eyes.

Yu Yan is growing up so fast! It hasn't been long, and she can already fight Yan Nantian to a standstill.

However, it's about time to end this.

Without warning, without any build-up of power.

With a mere sway of her body, she descended from the sky like a shooting star, cutting straight between Jiang Yuyan and Yan Nantian!

At this moment, Yan Nantian was throwing a punch at Jiang Yuyan. The punch was fierce and powerful, and the crimson true energy surged out like a raging wave!

Just as the punch was about to hit Jiang Yuyan, "Tie Xinlan" appeared between the two.

She raised her right hand, spread her fingers, and gently clenched them against the fist that was like a volcanic eruption.

Spiral energy field, distorted!

A terrifying surge of true energy emanated from her palm, forming a visible vortex that froze and distorted everything in its path!

Yan Nantian's domineering and unparalleled fist force was easily shattered the moment it came into contact with the vortex!

Yan Nantian's expression changed, and he wanted to withdraw his move and retreat, but the spiraling aura spread out instantly, enveloping him and making him feel as if he were in a quagmire, causing his movements to pause for a moment.

"Tie Xinlan" struck out with her palm, the boundless power like Mount Tai pressing down.

Jiang Yuyan seized the opportunity, and with both palms out, she joined forces with Lord Yingri to strike Yan Nantian's chest hard!

Two unparalleled masters joined forces for a single strike!

Yan Nantian only had time to cross his arms to block in his haste, but how could he so easily block the combined attack of Ying Ri and Jiang Yuyan?

boom--!!!

A dull, loud bang!

Yan Nantian was sent flying backwards like a kite with a broken string, tumbling more than a dozen times in the air before crashing heavily onto the ground dozens of feet away from the Elders' Council gate!

He smashed a huge crater in the ground, sending debris flying and dust billowing into the sky!

He struggled to stand up, but a sweet taste came from his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He swayed a few times and then knelt down on one knee.

Although he forcibly consumed the Azure Heaven Golden Pill and recovered his strength ahead of time, it was a risky and unstable recovery. Now, with two peerless masters joining forces to strike him, he could no longer suppress the surging blood and true energy within his body.

"Hero Yan!"

"Hero Yan!"

A gasp of alarm rang out from the Demon Extermination Army. Several experts rushed forward to help him, but Yan Nantian waved them off and stood up on his own.

He raised his head and looked at the black-robed figure who had returned to the sky with Mingyue Xin. He felt both familiar and unfamiliar with the figure. He wondered where this powerful expert had suddenly appeared from. He was too strong. He had never seen anything like it in his life!

After Lu Zhongyuan and the other two finished their breathing exercises, they came out of the Elders' Council Hall and quickly told Yan Nantian that Gongzi Yu was Ying Ri and that the person above was Ying Ri.

Yan Nantian's eyes widened in shock. Not only was Gongzi Yu alive, but he had also slaughtered the entire Elders Council, and it turned out that Ying Ri was in disguise.

The person who healed his wounds, gave him the Azure Heaven Golden Pill, and called him brother was actually the Demon Extermination Alliance, the great demon Ying Ri whom he was going to defeat!

This is impossible!

Not only did he not believe it, but among the more than 60,000 people in the Demon Extermination Alliance present, very few believed it. They preferred to believe that Lu Zhongyuan had been deceived by the Demon Lord Yingri and had made a mistake.

"Ying-ri-!!!" Yan Nantian roared to the sky, the anger and humiliation in his voice causing the entire valley to tremble!

In the sky, Ying Ri merely glanced at him indifferently, then turned and nodded to Jiang Yuyan: "Let's go."
