Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

Conversely, those sects that came to participate in the competition, especially those with considerable strength, did not suffer such great losses because they all had their leaders and elders protecting them.

Look at Qin Yi and her three companions. They fought against twelve experts from the Four Extremes Secret Realm. Although they were at a disadvantage, they had no casualties, only serious injuries.

Qin Yi is in the best condition; the other three are in much more serious condition.

Qin Yi had already taken Ye Liuyun's pills, which is why she was able to hold on.

Of course, not long ago, the four strongest experts from Wanbaolou also came to support them. These twelve people were defeated one after another. After seeing that the formation was broken, they lost their will to fight. They originally wanted to self-destruct, but unfortunately, the formation in the sky did not give them this opportunity.

"Are the three fellow Daoists alright?" Qin Yi asked, looking at the condition of the three people behind her.

"Thankfully, you won't die. But Elder Qin, what kind of healing medicine did you take just now? It worked so well, healing such a severe injury in an instant." The three of them were already meditating to heal their injuries.

Qin Yi was at a loss for words.

"It's a very expensive elixir, which I obtained by chance. I never expected to use it today," Qin Yi replied.

She certainly wouldn't tell these people; it was just given to me by one of my disciples.

Looking at Lin Aoxue's side, Lin Aoxue was covered in blood, having fought her way from the first floor to the top floor, killing countless members of the Reverse Immortal Alliance along the way.

She was very anxious because she saw the dead cultivators of the four major sects on every floor, and even on the last floor, the cultivators of the Reverse Immortal Alliance were still attacking Yun Yun and the others.

The formation in the sky was only aimed at the Four Extremes and the Nascent Soul stage. After they realized this, they attacked Yun Yun and the others even more recklessly.

They knew they would be wiped out if they didn't fight hard.

"Damn it, all of you, die!" Lin Aoxue used her Feather Transformation Power to launch a sneak attack from behind, killing more than ten Dao Palace cultivators in an instant.

Yun Yun and the others were more seriously injured, and there were more casualties. This time, there was no more Rejuvenation Pill to treat them. There was no other way, as Nalan Yan had already used it all.

"Hey? Sect Master, there's reinforcements!" Someone had noticed the commotion behind the Rebellious Immortal Alliance.

Yun Yun immediately scanned the area with her divine sense and discovered that it was Lin Aoxue who had arrived.

"Haha, it's Aoxue! Everyone, the formation has been broken. These people are at their last gasp. Counterattack!" Yun Yun shouted.

The people from the four lower-level sects also rekindled their fighting spirit; they just needed to hold on a little longer.

"Damn it, everyone! Prepare to self-destruct! We'll take them all with us even if it kills us!" shouted one of the cultivators from the Reverse Immortal Alliance.

They'd definitely kill their own people if they detonated here, but at this point, they couldn't worry about that anymore.

The crowd's expressions changed as they watched dozens of cultivators from the Reverse Immortal Alliance, their bodies shimmering with white light, rush towards them.

"Oh no, they're about to self-destruct! Retreat, retreat!" Yun Yun exclaimed in fright.

But how can I retreat here? The space is too cramped.

"Stop! Stop it right now!"

Seeing the group of self-destructing individuals rushing towards the four lower-level sects, Lin Aoxue was extremely anxious. She quickly took out her Yuan Shen treasure to prepare to instantly kill them.

But just as these people were about to approach Yun Yun and the others, something unexpected happened. A cold snort came from the void. As soon as the sound fell, these Dao Palace cultivators who wanted to self-destruct stopped abruptly, their bodies suddenly exploding into a cloud of blood mist.

But they didn't explode; they were wiped out in an instant by a powerful force.

However, in any case, the danger has been averted.

This was very sudden, and no one knew who made the move. Just now, Lin Aoxue was almost about to use her second Yuan Shen treasure.

Before it could even be used, another unknown force beat it to it.

"This? Master, are you all alright?" Lin Aoxue was stunned for a moment before rushing to Yun Yun and the others.

Seeing Lin Aoxue covered in blood, Yun Yun became even more panicked, fearing that Lin Aoxue had been injured.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury. But you, are you alright? You're covered in blood." Yun Yun quickly checked on him.

"This is all enemy blood. I'm not injured myself. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's hurry up and rescue the injured disciples. Here's a powerful healing pill." Lin Aoxue handed a bag of Rejuvenation Pills to Yun Yun.

Yun Yun was stunned when she saw the pills. Weren't these the pills that Nalan Yan had given them before? They had wondered where Nalan Yan got the pills, as they were too effective and could not possibly be made by Nalan Yan. Now it seemed that they were given by their disciple.

As she spoke, she quickly addressed the people behind her.

"Quickly give these pills to the disciples who are still breathing."

Yun Yun had personally experienced the effects of this pill, and it was truly effective; as long as someone still had breath, they could be saved.

Some disciples with minor injuries immediately sprang into action, but some disciples of the Zixia Sect were stunned when they saw the pills.

"Hey, this pill looks like the one Miss Ye used to save me back then? What is it?"

Despite their doubts, saving lives was the priority.

As for the Nascent Soul stage experts and Four Extremes stage experts outside who were immobilized, they had no power to resist after being immobilized.

Those Nascent Soul experts and cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm were captured by the binding force and forced to leave Tianyi City, flying to the front of Ancestor Tianyi and others.

Even Puyang Fei, who was in charge of the array's core, was not spared.

"Damn it, old man Tianyi, kill me if you want, what do you want to do?" These Nascent Soul experts had their power sealed by the formation, so self-destruction was no longer an option.

There are many people here, and Tianyi Ancestor knows them all. As for Chilei Ancestor, he is not here because not long ago, after he finished speaking to Li Bai, his body collapsed and he died.

Li Bai sat alone atop the high building, his expression unchanged, clearly indicating that something the Crimson Thunder Ancestor had said had forced him to ponder.

Ancestor Tianyi and the others were extremely angry at this moment. They never expected that the people of the Reverse Immortal Alliance would be so vicious as to attack Tianyi City.

In their understanding, the forces that the Supreme Response Sect had deployed in Tianyi City were only so small, and even if they were all gone, it wouldn't have much of an impact on the Supreme Response Sect. They wouldn't possibly attack Tianyi City.

But unexpectedly, they used Tianyi City to retaliate against the Taishang Ganying Sect. It can only be said that they underestimated the ruthlessness of the Reverse Immortal Alliance.

"Hmph! Puyang Fei, you are truly hopeless. If you had only killed people from our Supreme Response Sect, I would have thought more highly of you. But you actually used these low-level cultivators to vent your personal grievances." Some Nascent Soul experts who knew Puyang Fei said angrily.

"Hmph, shut up! We're all going to die soon anyway, why do we care about these things? Hahaha, this time, we'll turn your Nanling Grand Gathering into a huge funeral. Aren't you happy? Hahaha, hurry up and kill me!" Puyang Fei and the others laughed wildly.

However, Ancestor Tianyi simply waved his hand and then used his power to seal all their power.

"Lock them all in the Demon Suppression Prison and let them spend the rest of their lives there," Ancestor Tianyi ordered with a gloomy expression.

After saying that, the cultivators of the Supreme Response Sect reached out and grabbed at these Nascent Soul cultivators and Four Extremes cultivators.

"Damn it, kill us, you old dog Tianyi, you bastards of the Supreme Response Sect, kill me!" The cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm immediately started cursing when they heard that they were to be imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Prison.

They would rather die than go to that kind of place. It was a place specifically used by the Taishang Ganying Sect to imprison heretical cultivators. If they went there, they would basically never be able to get out. Rather than slowly waiting to die, they would rather die.

All the evil cultivators from the Rebellious Immortal Alliance have been captured. As for the Dao Palace cultivators in the city, the Supreme Response Sect has no intention of keeping them.

"Go, kill all the remaining evil members of the Rebellious Immortal Alliance inside," Ancestor Tianyi commanded again.

Soon, some Nascent Soul cultivators made their move again. They swept their divine senses across the area, and any cultivators from the Reverse Immortal Alliance dressed in black robes were instantly crushed. One Dao Palace cultivator from the Reverse Immortal Alliance in the city exploded and died. In less than an instant, everyone with obvious Reverse Immortal Alliance insignia was dead.

But there are definitely other cultivators from the Rebel Immortal Alliance who aren't dressed in black robes. These people are spies who have already infiltrated Tianyi City, and we'll need to spend time finding them.

"Go and investigate the sect. Such a meticulous attack must have been orchestrated by high-ranking members within the sect," said Ancestor Tianyi.

These words made the Nascent Soul cultivators present somewhat nervous, because there was definitely a traitor among them from the Reverse Immortal Alliance, that was for sure.

"Master Tianyi, you owe my Nangong family an explanation! My Nangong family was the first to be attacked by them and suffered heavy losses."

“Indeed, Master Tianyi, your Supreme Induction Sect has made a huge mistake this time.” Several local Nascent Soul cultivators who had been fighting against the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Reverse Immortal Alliance flew to the front of Ancestor Tianyi and the others.

As soon as they arrived, they were filled with resentment. There was nothing they could do; their families were large clans affiliated with the Supreme Response Sect, stronger than ordinary medium-sized sects, and thus suffered the greatest losses.

"This? Everyone, this time, it was a mistake on the part of our Supreme Response Sect. We will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation," said Ancestor Tianyi.

After such an incident, they are certainly to blame; they can't shirk responsibility, so they have to find a way to clean up the mess.

"Hmph! I hope the sect leader can keep his word. If it weren't for the few of us doing our best to delay these villains' attack, Tianyi City would have become a dead city by the time you arrived," a family head said angrily.

They only managed to save a portion of their clansmen at crucial moments, but their families were almost completely destroyed. This was because these families were among the strongest affiliated forces of the Supreme Response Sect, and the Anti-Immortal Alliance was targeting them.

If the Supreme Response Sect doesn't handle this properly, who will dare to become its vassal in the future? This is also a warning from the Reverse Immortal Alliance to those forces that want to become vassals of the Supreme Response Sect.

They were warned to stay away from the Supreme Response Sect, or this would be their fate; the same principle applied to attacking the Cloud Sect.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated. Because of Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue's relationship, the two of them saved most of the disciples of the Taishang Ganying Sect's affiliated sects.

The four mid-level sects in the Southern Region did not suffer any major casualties, especially the Cloud, Sword, Dao, and Flower sects, which had no members injured or killed. Only their subordinate forces suffered some casualties.

Ye Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief; she had arrived at the building where Lin Aoxue was.

She came in from the rooftop, so she quickly saw the group of people who were healing.

"Aoxue, are you alright?" Ye Liuyun asked hurriedly after arriving.

When Lin Aoxue saw Ye Liuyun coming over, she immediately went over to him.

"Yes, I was covered in blood, but I wasn't injured. However, the sect suffered some casualties," Lin Aoxue said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately sighed. It was already good that the entire army wasn't wiped out in such a large-scale attack; it would be difficult to achieve complete peace and safety.

"Sister Liuyu, you've arrived." Nalan Yan also hurried over. She definitely wanted to thank Ye Liuyun. Without Ye Liuyun's pills, so many of them wouldn't have survived.

Those disciples of the Zixia Sect who had received favors from Ye Liuyun could basically confirm upon seeing him that the elixirs that had cured them were given to them by Ye Liuyun.

"Yes, I'm here." Ye Liuyun nodded.

Thus, this bloody night came to an end, but the casualties were too great. Many of the cultivators who came to participate in the Southern Ridge Gathering died in a daze.

Those sects that suffered heavy casualties were even more desperate. They brought their elites with them, and they were already heartbroken when even one of them died. Not to mention that many sects had lost all their disciples or only had a few left.

It's clear how much resentment they harbored at that moment. But even with that resentment, they were helpless. At most, they could curse the Rebellious Immortal Alliance and the Supreme Response Sect in their hearts. What else could they do?

However, given the severity of the situation, tomorrow's Nanling Grand Event will have to be postponed.

"I am Tianmu, the Grand Elder of the Supreme Response Sect. This incident happened suddenly, so the Southern Ridge Gathering has been postponed for three days. It will officially begin in three days. During these three days, the Supreme Response Sect will be responsible for treating your injuries. I also apologize to the fellow Daoists who died in this incident. Rest assured, this was a mistake on the part of our Supreme Response Sect. We will compensate you for the disciples you lost according to their value." Grand Elder Tianmu's voice resounded throughout Tianyi City.

This is probably the best possible outcome; at least the Taishang Ganying Sect is willing to take responsibility.

Elder Tianmu's words eased the mood of the sect cultivators who were filled with resentment. As for those rogue cultivators without sects or factions, there was nothing that could be done; they could only die in vain.

On the Yunxia Sect's side, the cultivators from the four major sects have gathered the remains of their fallen comrades together. A total of more than fifty people from the four sects have died in battle.

The Yunxia Sect lost nine Dao Palace cultivators in battle, and the other three sects also suffered losses. However, the Xixia Sect suffered the greatest loss, as one of its Dao Palace Level 3 elders was killed in battle.

Everyone felt heavy-hearted and depressed as they looked at their fellow disciple who had lost his life. He had been laughing and talking during the day, discussing his performance at the Southern Ridge Gathering, but by night he had become a corpse. This was naturally a blow to the cultivators who were close to him.

"Alas! Thank you all for risking your lives to protect us. We will definitely achieve results at the Nanling Grand Gathering to comfort your souls in heaven." The four sect leaders, Yun Yun, Zi Lan, Yan Chen, and Xi Ri, murmured as they looked at the corpse.

The strength of these four families has been underestimated by the Reverse Immortal Alliance. If they send a cultivator from the Four Extremes Secret Realm, they could basically wipe them out.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Under normal circumstances, how strong can a sect be without cultivators from the Four Extremes Realm?

Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun stood side by side. Lin Aoxue looked at the dead Yunxia Sect cultivators, her mood clearly sour. Even if they weren't that close, they were still acquaintances.

"Aoxue, we should go back," Ye Liuyun whispered a reminder.

The matter here is over, and they need to go back to the Cloud Sect, since they don't know what the situation is like there.

"Okay, I'll go say hello to Master. I hope nothing else goes wrong in the remaining three days," Lin Aoxue nodded and then walked towards Yun Yun.

After exchanging a few words with Yun Yun, Yun Yun gave her some instructions and then sent Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun back.

There's no need for the two of them here; they can handle it themselves.

There are patrolling cultivators from the Supreme Response Sect everywhere in the sky, so there shouldn't be any more attacks.

Looking at the Yun Sect, Murong Huan and the others had also gathered together. Qin Yi and the other three had also found them. However, when Qin Yi saw that there were no casualties in the Yun Sect, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she also found it hard to understand.

"Ah...that's great, you're all alright. But that shouldn't be the case. I clearly saw many cultivators from the Four Extremes Realm chasing after you. Did some powerful figure save you?" Qin Yi asked hurriedly after returning.

The four of them looked helpless. They were barely able to protect themselves and could only pray that there would be fewer casualties. After all, the other group was clearly sent to target the four major sects. If they could hold the four of them back, then Murong Huan and the others would have to rely on themselves.

The four of them didn't have high hopes at the time.

"Elder, that's great! You're all alright too?" Everyone was overjoyed to see Qin Yi and the other three return alive.

Murong Huan immediately answered Qin Yi's question.

"Elder, it was Junior Sister Lin who suddenly used an extremely powerful treasure, instantly killing all of the enemy's Four Extremes cultivators. Otherwise, we would all probably be dead here. These demons are truly ruthless," Murong Huan quickly explained.

The Grand Elder was somewhat surprised, wondering what kind of treasure could instantly kill a large group of cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

"Really? That's unexpected. By the way, where's Lin? Why isn't she here? And where's her sister?" Qin Yi looked around and then quickly asked.

The members of Yunzong looked at each other, seemingly unaware of the two's whereabouts.

"Huh? Yeah, where did Senior Sister Lin and Junior Sister Ye go? We launched a counterattack immediately, and it was all in chaos. We didn't notice them."

But everyone shook their heads. In the chaotic battle just now, with fighting everywhere, they didn't have time to pay attention to Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun.

"I don't know, has anyone seen it?"
