Chat group: All my group members are in the villain camp

"Ye Ming, it seems you still don't know the true purpose of our Dark Night Clan!"

"What purpose?"

Ye Ming frowned.

Basazer said coldly, "Since ancient times, my Dark Night Clan has been lurking among humans, waiting for the right opportunity!"

"When the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is at its most abundant, we absorb the essence and blood of countless living beings to complete our clan's transformation and become the masters of this world! Now, with the spiritual energy reviving, it is the time for our clan to make its mark!"

"You are going against the will of Heaven and defying nature! This is intolerable!"

Ye Mingyi was upright and stern in his words.

"Hahaha! The Way of Heaven? Nature? Before absolute power, everything is trash!"

"Once I have drained the blood of everyone in this city, I will be the new Heavenly Dao!"

Barsaze laughed menacingly.

"I will never allow it!"

Ye Ming let out a shout, and his sword energy poured out!

A golden light flashed, and a sharp sword pierced the air, heading straight for Barsaze's face!

Barthaze neither dodged nor avoided, but reached out and grabbed Ye Ming's sword blade in his hand!

With a crisp "ding," the blade shattered inch by inch, turning into dust!

"Hahaha! Your sword is not good enough!"

Barsaze was smug.

Ye Ming's face darkened, and a sense of unease swept through his heart.

This monster is so powerful, could it be that I'm really going to be defeated by it today?

Just then, a gentle voice suddenly came from the chat group:

[Yun Shanshan (Dou Qi World): Senior Brother Ye Ming, in our Dou Qi Continent there is an object called the Qiankun Bag, which can contain all things. You can put that demon into this bag, and then find a way to deal with it!]

Ye Ming had a sudden inspiration, his eyes lit up, and a plan came to mind.

He immediately reached into his robes and pulled out the Qiankun bag that his junior sister Yun Shanshan had given him.

...

The bag was simple yet exquisite, entirely black.

Fine golden lines meander and intertwine on the surface, subtly exuding a magical aura.

Ye Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression solemn.

He concentrated for a moment, then suddenly roared, "Barthaze, prepare to die!"

Before he finished speaking, his spiritual power surged forth and poured continuously into the Qiankun bag!

The Qiankun Bag instantly shone brightly, its surface gleaming with dazzling gold patterns.

The black fabric also swelled up, emitting a powerful suction force!

It suddenly stretched out in the air and expanded rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a massive black net, descending directly upon Barsaze!

The massive net swept away all obstacles with overwhelming force, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder.

Wherever it passed, the demonic aura dissipated and the black mist dissipated!

Barthaze felt an invisible force slam into him.

He was completely entangled in the large net and couldn't move!

"What?! This... what kind of treasure is this?!"

Barsaze was utterly shocked, his eyes wide open.

They couldn't believe that their dignified ancestor had been subdued by a tiny cloth bag!

He struggled and roared frantically, his arms turning into bone spurs as he desperately tried to break free of his restraints.

But this Qiankun Bag was no ordinary magic weapon; the more it struggled, the tighter the net became!

With a whoosh, the giant net suddenly tightened and contracted inward, creating a whirlwind!

The wind howled, churning up the ruins, tables, chairs, and other objects inside the hall, all of which were pulverized by this force!

Basazé let out a terrible howl as his body was instantly swallowed up by the Qiankun Bag!

His body twisted desperately at the opening of the bag, his face filled with terror and despair, his hands clawing helplessly outwards.

But how could he possibly contend with the Qiankun Bag?

The large net opened and closed, instantly sucking Balthazar and his demonic aura into its pouch.

It circled in the air and flew back into Ye Ming's hand.

Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief, his face beaming with joy, and said gratefully, "Thank you for the reminder, Junior Sister Yun Shanshan!"

[Yun Shanshan (Dou Qi World): Of course, Senior Brother, please be careful!]

He looked down at the Qiankun bag in his hand, which was clearly bulging, and flicked it gently.

With a "ding," a weak but angry roar came from inside the bag, clearly indicating that he was trapped.

Ye Ming's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.

He carefully re-tied the Qiankun Bag to his waist before turning and rushing toward the unconscious Sun Qianqian.

Sun Qianqian was barely breathing, her delicate body limp on the ground, clearly seriously injured.

Ye Ming felt heartbroken and picked her up, channeling his spiritual energy to heal her injuries.

Sun Qianqian slowly woke up, opened her eyes and saw Ye Ming's worried face, and smiled sweetly:

"Brother Ye, I'm fine."

"Silly girl, who told you to block my way!"

Ye Ming felt both heartache and self-blame.

Sun Qianqian said, "How could I bear to see you suffer any misfortune? What did you do to that monster?"

Ye Ming said, "It's temporarily sealed. We'll find a way to get rid of it later."

As the two were talking, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the hall.

It turned out that the people of the city had learned the true face of the city lord and had gathered at the city lord's mansion to demand an explanation.

Upon seeing Ye Ming, the people knelt down and kowtowed, moved to tears of gratitude.

"Lord Ye, thank you so much for getting rid of that monster for us! We will never forget your great kindness!"

Ye Ming quickly helped everyone up and said seriously, "There's no need for this, everyone. I was just doing my duty."

"The peace and prosperity of this place from now on will depend on your own abilities."

The people were once again full of gratitude.

Ye Ming offered a few words of humility, then bid farewell to Sun Qianqian and left.

Outside the city, Ye Ming took out his Qiankun bag and pondered:

"This Balthazar amulet is strange; ordinary magic probably can't do anything to him."

"It seems I should ask fellow Daoists in other worlds if they have a solution."

Sun Qianqian nodded and said, "That's the only way. Let's go back to the cultivation world first."

Ye Ming responded and flew away with Sun Qianqian on their swords, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

……

[Jiangnan Daoist (Shushan World): Fellow Daoist Ye Ming, this talisman should be formed from the reverse scale of an ancient mythical beast, impervious to blades and spears, and unaffected by magical power. I believe only the authentic demon-slaying sword "Burning Heaven" can break this talisman and sever the demonic energy within.]

[Ye Ming (Cultivation World): The Demon-Slaying Sword Burns the Heavens? What kind of treasure is that?]

[Master Jiangnan (Shushan World): This sword is the treasure of the ancient Shushan Sword Sect, used to slay demons and evil spirits. Legend has it that it was lost to the mortal realm in its early years, and its whereabouts remain unknown.]

[Ye Ming (Cultivation World): I understand. It seems that only by finding this sword can we completely defeat Balthazar.]

[Xu Bufan (Snow World): Ye Ming, how about I ask our Snow Mountain Sect's patriarch if he knows the whereabouts of the Demon-Slaying Sword?]

[Ye Ming (Cultivation World): That's wonderful! Thank you, Fellow Daoist! I'll set off immediately to inquire about the Demon-Slaying Sword!]

Many people in the group expressed their willingness to help Ye Ming.

Ye Ming was secretly moved. He replied with a few words and then embarked on a journey with Sun Qianqian to find the Demon-Slaying Sword.

Along the way, Ye Ming and Sun Qianqian traveled to many places, visiting famous mountains and rivers, and seeking out many extraordinary people.

Finally, in a remote town, they obtained a clue to the Demon-Slaying Sword.

Legend has it that the Demon-Slaying Sword was collected by a strange man named "Lone Star," who lived on a nearby ghost mountain.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ming immediately decided to go to Ghost Mountain.

Sun Qianqian wanted to go with him, but Ye Ming insisted that she wait in town in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Sun Qianqian had no choice but to comply.

After saying goodbye to Sun Qianqian, Ye Ming embarked on his journey alone to Gu Xingzi's residence.

After enduring wind and rain and sleeping outdoors, we finally arrived at the foot of the legendary Ghost Mountain.

The mountain was gloomy and terrifying, shrouded in black mist, devoid of any sign of life.

The roars of monstrous beasts echoed through the forest from time to time, sending chills down one's spine.

Ye Ming tightened his collar and was about to step up the mountain when a figure emerged from the forest and blocked his way.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a woman with a deathly pale face and lifeless eyes.

"Who are you? Why have you come to my Lonely Star Valley?" the woman asked coldly.

Ye Ming bowed and said, "I am Ye Ming, and I have come to ask Senior Gu Xingzi about the whereabouts of the Demon-Slaying Sword."

"The Demon-Slaying Sword? Heh, that's a family heirloom, how could I show it to others so easily!" the woman sneered.

Ye Ming exclaimed in surprise, "So you are Gu Xingzi, young lady? My apologies for not recognizing you!"

Gu Xingzi sized up Ye Ming and said coldly, "Now that you know this secret, don't even think about leaving here alive!"

Before she finished speaking, she flashed and transformed into a black shadow, striking down at Ye Ming's head!

Ye Ming shouted loudly, drew his Tai Xuan Sword, and blocked the attack head-on!

With a loud "clang," it turned out they were evenly matched, each a worthy opponent!

In an instant, shadowy figures crisscrossed the area, sword energy gleamed, and the two fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand!

Lone Star's moves were unpredictable and he could come and go without a trace. Although Ye Ming had profound cultivation, he could not gain the upper hand for a while.

The two fought for three hundred rounds, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Lone Star suddenly sheathed his sword and stood up, looking at Ye Ming in surprise:

"Boy, your swordsmanship is not bad. I'll give you a chance to live because of your skill."

"You play a game of chess with me, and if you win, I'll give you the Demon-Slaying Sword!"

Ye Ming was delighted upon hearing this and quickly said, "Miss is indeed very understanding! I have some knowledge of chess, and I would be so bold as to ask for your guidance."
