Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

The sudden palm strike from Li Linsa caused all the elders of the Ranshan Sect to fall silent.

The elders who had previously assumed that the maternal grandfather of the Ranshan Sect had always stood by their side trembled and stared incredulously at the indifferent Li Linsa.

Grandfather... betrayed the sect?

But... how is that possible?

No matter how unwilling you are to believe it, the facts are right in front of you.

Li Linsa didn't even glance at the Seven Peaks Elder lying on the ground, groaning in pain, unable to utter a word and only able to vomit blood. His tone was flat and devoid of pity.

“If I had struck your left chest with that palm strike just now, Seventh Elder, your physical body would already be dead.”

"Out of consideration for our past relationship, I will spare your life."

"The same goes for everyone else."

Li Linsa turned to the other three elders who were standing beside Xun Ranqing and his eyes narrowed: "If you give up your resistance and surrender to the Demon Dynasty, I may spare you from taking action."

The implication was that they wanted to persuade him to surrender.

However, those three elders were all upright and incorruptible people. They had been able to persevere to this day despite the coercion and enticement of the Demon Dynasty. They must have their own rules of self-discipline and a bottom line in their conduct.

That being said, the current situation is hardly good.

With his maternal grandfather defecting to the enemy and the Seventh Elder falling into a coma, the two forces that were originally evenly matched and evenly matched were completely tilted in the blink of an eye. Even if you include the sect leader Xun Ranqing, there are only four of them left.

On the other side... including the grinning Jin Hezai, there were five people.

Adding to that, my maternal grandfather, Li Junxiao, makes it four against six.

There was a significant difference in the number of people.

"Elders, time for deliberation is running out."

Jin He sneered, his aged face filled with a sinister grin: "I wouldn't mind if the three of you became my blood slaves... After all, the essence and blood of three Nascent Soul stage experts are enough for this old man to have a good meal."

These words already place him in the position of a demonic cultivator.

But now that everything was out in the open, Jin He had no intention of pretending. Not only him, but also the four Ranshan Sect elders beside him slowly emitted wisps of black smoke from their bodies.

That's demonic energy within the demonic cultivators... They've all already fallen into the demonic path!

Seeing this, the three of them remained silent, exchanged glances, and then turned their gazes to Xun Ranqing.

After experiencing Li Linsa's betrayal, the astonishment on the face of the Ranshan Sect leader slowly faded, replaced by a murderous rage.

He sat with his eyes closed on the throne of the Ranshan Sect Master.

next moment.

Bang bang bang!

Countless bursts of sound suddenly appeared out of thin air. Xun Ranqing slammed his hand on the seat and sprang to his feet. His spiritual energy surged forth, and the dense spiritual energy, like a raging ocean wave, swept across the entire platform in the blink of an eye!

He opened his eyes, his pupils filled with the vastness of heaven and earth, and an aura of majestic dominance burst forth from his old yet sturdy body.

His voice, once uttered, was filled with furious rage that shook heaven and earth.

"Our Ranshan Sect is a righteous and prestigious sect! An imperial sect!"

"As long as the Lantian Empire does not submit to the Demon Dynasty, my Ranshan Sect will never be on the same side as the Demon Dynasty!"

"Moreover, you demonic cultivators devour human flesh and blood, refine human souls, and harm the vast masses for your own selfish desires. Although I, Xun Ranqing, am not a great and upright person, I know that the demonic path has been evil since ancient times, and I despise those who are bloodthirsty and murderous."

"Elder Jin He is now colluding with foreign enemies, conspiring with the Demon Dynasty, and practicing demonic arts, remaining stubbornly unrepentant..."

"I have no choice but to act on behalf of Heaven and deal with this sect!"

These words resonated deeply. Xun Ranqing's eyes were filled with righteous indignation, and with a deep, angry shout, his domineering power was revealed.

An imposing aura emanated from him; as the sect leader of the Ranshan Sect, he possessed the most profound cultivation among all members of the sect.

Void Realm... Peak!

With a wave of his hand, a long spear appeared in his palm. Xun Ranqing stood holding the spear, a fierce and imposing light flashing from his blue eyes, pointing directly at Jin He and Li Linsa.

"Jin He, Li Linsa, do you two dare to fight me?!"

He's going to fight two against one!

Jin He and Li Linsa were both originally at the entry level of the Void Realm, but Jin He, who had become a demon, went a step further and reached the minor completion level of the Void Realm. If the two of them were to fight one-on-one, they would definitely not be a match for Xun Ranqing.

But if it's one against two, then that's another story.

"Lord Sect Leader——"

Li Linsa glanced at the renderer standing like a war god on the sect leader's chair with a complicated expression, remained silent for a long time, and then advised, "Now the Demon Dynasty has become the dominant force in the Desolate Heaven Domain. Before long, the Empire will also fall. It is unwise to make an enemy of the Demon Dynasty now."

"Throughout history, those who understand the times are heroes. The current state of the world has nothing to do with whether or not one cultivates demonic arts... If one wants to continue living, there is only one way."

"There's only one road?"

Xun Ranqing stared coldly at Li Linsa, his gaze filled with contempt and disdain.

He snorted coldly, his beard fluttering in the wind, his spear held upright at his side, and declared in a resounding voice: "Then I'd rather not take this road! Even if I die, I'll take this spear with me!"

"Sect Master...you..."

"Grandfather, don't argue with this stubborn old fool. There's nothing more to say now!"

Jin He let out a strange laugh, and his whole body transformed into a dark gust of wind, instantly disappearing in front of Xun Ranqing.

Xun Ranqing was not afraid at all. Holding his long spear, he fought against Jin He, who was holding a short dagger, with the posture of a war god.

Li Linsa shook his head helplessly, then flashed forward, sword in hand, and charged toward Xun Ranqing.

As the sect leader, Xun Ranqing single-handedly dealt with two Void Realm experts, while the remaining three elders, after hearing Xun Ranqing's words, all stood up and summoned their respective magical artifacts.

"The sect leader is right. Good and evil have been irreconcilable since ancient times. How can we associate with demons and monsters?"

The old man in purple robes smiled upon hearing this, and demonic energy suddenly surged from his body: "Then let's try it! Let's see if you are a match for the demons and monsters you speak of!"

Four demonic figures arrived in an instant and began fighting with the three elders who were still standing on Xun Ranqing's side.

The scene quickly devolved into a chaotic brawl.

Yunping still wanted to wait a while until the person he was waiting for appeared before making his move.

But the current situation seems far from optimistic.

Although he was fighting two opponents, both of whom were Void Realm experts, Xun Ranqing surprisingly did not fall behind in a short period of time. Moreover, the spear in his hand was like a long dragon coiling and dancing, accompanied by profound and mysterious spear techniques, which seemed to have touched the highest realm of martial arts - the Free Realm.

Under that near-freedom level of spear technique, even the slightest difference could be the key to victory or defeat. Xun Ranqing, with his unparalleled and unrestrained spear technique, managed to completely neutralize the attacks of Jin He and Li Linsa, and even gained a slight advantage.

However, while Xun Ranqing's situation was indeed good, the situation on the other side was not so optimistic.

The three elders wielded swords, sabers, and hammers respectively, and their martial arts level was only barely at the level of "at will," and their cultivation level was a grade lower than that of the four who had fallen into demonic possession.

Moreover, the opponent had a numerical advantage, and soon after the initial close combat, they were already at a disadvantage.

The free transfer group for Qianxun novels is 255595300. Moreover, one of the elders wielding a sword suffered a severe injury to his right shoulder, and his condition was already dire.

If this continues, once these three are defeated, the four Nascent Soul stage demonic elders will immediately join the battle against Xun Ranqing. At that time, they will join forces with Jin He and Li Linsa to besiege Xun Ranqing. I'm afraid this upright and unyielding sect leader... will also die tragically at the hands of his own people.

As a powerful figure and the leader of a sect, it is truly lamentable that he would die at the hands of his own people.

It was during this time, as Yunping was pondering what to do, that—

"Sect Master, I'm here to help you!"

A loud shout emerged from the crowd.

An old man, who seemed to be walking through the air from afar, flew over the magic array and appeared on the platform in a flash.

Upon seeing this person, Xun Ranqing and the other three elders were overjoyed.

They had almost forgotten that there was such a person hidden in their Ranshan Sect.

"Uncle Ding?!"

That's right, this person is none other than Ding Bo, the steward of the Ren family manor.

With the cultivation of the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, he is the strongest person in the Ranshan Sect in terms of cultivation level, apart from his maternal grandfather, Jin He, and Xun Ranqing.

Ding Bo glared coldly at Jin He and then cursed, "Old man Jin He, you are an elder of the Ranshan Sect, yet you have done such a despicable and vile thing. Today, I will help the Sect Master clean house!"

After speaking, he took a step forward, first arriving in front of the Five Peaks Elder, and swiftly struck out with a palm, sending him flying. At the same time, he uttered a sentence to the three elders behind him.

"You all hold on for now. I'll go and finish dealing with Jin He for the Sect Master first, and then the Sect Master can come and deal with these four with you!"

Upon seeing Ding Bo, the three knew he was quite reliable, so they nodded in unison and then began to fight with the remaining three demonic figures.

Ding Bo arrived at Xun Ranqing's side in a flash.

Xun Ranqing swept his spear horizontally, first forcing Jin He and Li Linsa back, then looked at Ding Bo who had come to his aid with great joy: "Ding Bo, I didn't expect you to come!"

"The sect is in trouble, and I cannot stand by and watch the sect leader be swallowed up by the demon dynasty."

"Haha, alright!! Then I'll leave it to Uncle Ding!"

"it is good!"

The character "好" (good) was written.

Ding Bo gave Jin He a wink with lightning speed.

The next second, Jin He, holding a short dagger, let out a wicked laugh and transformed into a ball of black light, rushing towards Xun Ranqing.

Xun Ranqing snorted coldly, raised his gun and swiftly blocked Jin He's attack.

And it was at this very moment.

Jin He grinned and then burst into laughter.

"Uncle Ding! Do it!"

The word "take action" was uttered.

A black short sword brimming with demonic energy suddenly appeared in Ding Bo's palm, and by the time Xun Ranqing noticed what Ding Bo was holding, it was already too late.

"what?!"

At this moment, he was holding Jin He by the spear and couldn't break free at all.

Xun Ranqing's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the person who had come to rescue him...

The black short sword was filled with a chilling demonic aura.
