However, ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍when they saw the white-haired woman reveal her true form and then freeze before the bronze long chest, they realized something was wrong.

Even ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍the black-clad man—whom Xu Ning and Zhao Zhen had been unable to defeat—showed a change in expression and immediately vanished.

The ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Clear Sky Sect disciples surrounding the bronze long chest tightly gripped their Clear Sky Swords, hesitating whether to attack the white-haired woman.

Suddenly—

Blood ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍burst from the white-haired woman’s body, spraying in all directions and splattering onto the Clear Sky Sect disciples, causing them to instinctively raise their swords in shock.

Thud!

The white-haired woman collapsed to the ground. The Sword Demon remained expressionless as he stepped forward.

As he passed by her, he hesitated briefly, then used his power to draw the two storage pouches from her waist and attached them to his own.

He continued forward and once again unleashed his Dharma Manifestation Domain. The heaven and earth abruptly changed, and everyone on the battlefield was dragged into the domain.

This time, even the Clear Sky Sect disciples were pulled into it.

Yuan Li, who had been in midair, suddenly found soil beneath his feet. He instinctively looked around, only to see ancient swords in every direction. He could also see others, which caused him to frown.

With more than thirty thousand cultivators from both sects combined, everyone within the domain felt an immense pressure, rendering them unable to move.

Wei Tianxiong looked toward the Sword Demon, his expression filled with shock, his heart surging like a raging sea.

“His Dharma Manifestation Domain can actually cover such a vast range… what level of cultivation does he have?”

Wei Tianxiong had never imagined the Sword Demon to be so powerful.

Even at his peak, he could not have dragged so many people into a domain at once.

Under the Sword Demon’s terrifying pressure, some were afraid, some despaired, and some tried to resist.

Xu Ning, Ji Ya, Zhao Zhen, Hu Yan, Sword Solitary, and other geniuses of the Clear Sky Sect struggled—but they could not move at all.

The Sword Demon’s gaze suddenly fell upon Yuan Li, his brows slightly furrowing.

He saw Yuan Li turn to look at him, which surprised him.

“Clear Sky Sect members are not to move. Do not interfere with my slaughter of the enemy!”

The Sword Demon’s voice rang out, clearly reaching everyone’s ears. These words filled the Clear Sky Sect disciples with joy, while the hearts of the Myriad Yin Sect cultivators sank into despair.

Yuan Li stopped, gazing at the Sword Demon from afar, hesitation evident on his face.

At that moment, the ancient swords in all directions rose and began slaughtering the Myriad Yin Sect cultivators. Cries for mercy rang out one after another, but were quickly drowned out by the sound of blades tearing through the air.

Soon, the sounds of swords piercing flesh filled the domain.

Yuan Li looked at the massacre unfolding in all directions, his eyes wide, pupils trembling.

“What kind of divine ability is this…”

Watching the Myriad Yin Sect cultivators stand helplessly in place, awaiting death, Yuan Li was deeply shaken. Though he could turn his body, he too was suppressed by the Sword Demon’s pressure and could not fight.

Suppressing the entire battlefield alone!

What kind of terrifying power was this?

Was this the power of the Heaven-Connecting Radiance Realm?

Yuan Li’s gaze burned with intensity. He was already strong—but not enough. At the very least, he could not wield such overwhelming power.

……

Within the forest—

The black-clad man appeared, quickly bracing himself against a tree. Sweat the size of beans covered his forehead.

Having used his abilities repeatedly, his vital energy was completely exhausted.

“To easily suppress Elder Jiuying… that person must be extraordinary. How could the Clear Sky Sect have such a powerful existence?”

The more he thought about it, the more fearful he became. With his talent, dying in this battle would be a terrible waste.

He felt he could no longer remain in the Myriad Yin Sect. He decided to leave and head to the Azure Dragon Domain.

Taking a deep breath, he began to walk forward, though his steps were unsteady.

After barely ten zhang, he suddenly stopped. His pupils trembled.

Following his gaze—

The Sword Demon stood beneath the shade of a tree ahead, turned slightly sideways toward him.

“How is this possible…”

The black-clad man’s heart trembled in fear. After only a moment of hesitation, he immediately dropped to his knees.

“Senior, please—”

Puchi!

Before he could finish speaking, his head flew into the air. His eyes remained wide open, dying with unresolved grievance.

……

At the summit of Clear Sky Mountain, Li Qingqiu raised his right hand as snowfall grew heavier. He had thought the snow would come later this year, but it had arrived nonetheless.

From here, he could not sense the battle at the Spirit Mine stronghold and could only repeatedly bring up the Dao Lineage Panel.

The number of fallen disciples had already exceeded a thousand, weighing heavily on his mind.

Through the Supreme Sword, he could sense the Sword Demon’s presence—the Sword Demon was waiting for a Heaven-Connecting Radiance Realm cultivator to act.

When the white-haired woman made her move, the number of disciples on the panel stopped decreasing.

Seeing the Sword Demon slaughter all the Myriad Yin Sect cultivators alone, Li Qingqiu finally let out a sigh of relief.

He then saw the Sword Demon pursue and kill the black-clad man, which made him appreciate him even more.

Eliminate the roots completely—I like it!

This way, news of the Sword Demon being subdued by Li Qingqiu would not spread.

Li Qingqiu continued waiting, hoping this battle would trigger a Dao lineage reward.

Unfortunately, even after the Clear Sky Sect began cleaning up the battlefield, he still received no reward.

Slightly depressed, he activated another Great Destiny Physique search opportunity.

Nothing again!

Forget it!

No matter what, they had at least overcome the calamity brought by the Myriad Yin Sect.

After this battle, the Myriad Yin Sect had suffered severe losses and would not dare act recklessly. Since it had not been completely destroyed, it likely would not alert its founding ancestor.

The Clear Sky Sect would enjoy a period of peace.

The entire Western Region Perilous Land would become a place for the Clear Sky Sect to explore—countless resources awaited them. Just thinking about it filled Li Qingqiu with excitement.

……

Snow fell gently, scattering across the mountains and forests.

Yin Jingxing stepped onto a stone bridge, supporting himself on his knees as he said weakly, “I… can’t walk anymore…”

Lin Lingzhou and Wan Feng stopped as well, as did Shen Yue.

On both sides of the stone bridge were forests. The terrain here was steep, yet the scenery was pleasant.

Shen Yue glanced around and said, “Then let’s rest for an hour.”

Lin Lingzhou and Wan Feng exchanged glances, understanding each other immediately.

This Senior Shen truly doted on Yin Jingxing—he stopped whenever the child asked.

Of course, it was also because Yin Jingxing was sensible. He had been gritting his teeth and persevering the entire time. Since their last rest, they had traveled nearly a hundred miles.

Shen Yue walked into the forest, intending to find something for Yin Jingxing to eat.

Lin Lingzhou and Wan Feng sat beside Yin Jingxing on the stone bridge, accompanying him.

“Am I… useless?” Yin Jingxing asked in a low voice.

Wan Feng snorted. “Useless? You’re incredibly useful. If you didn’t call for a stop, we wouldn’t dare to. My feet have long been torn apart—I’ve been waiting for you to speak.”

Lin Lingzhou smiled. “That’s right. You’re already impressive enough to make us feel inferior.”

Their words made Yin Jingxing raise his head, and a faint smile gradually appeared on his face.
