However, Xuanfa, caught in the mirage and influenced by the Heavenly Demon's essence, went completely mad. After biting him to death, he charged at the others present.

Hundreds of members of the Yangxin Temple were killed, leaving corpses strewn across the field!

Xie Tianyang, who was not far away, suddenly let out a terrified scream and fell to the ground.

"The Cultivation of the Mind has failed just like that?"

The terror in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Lin Jinglong's gaze also fell on him.

Suddenly, he shook his head and said, "I almost forgot about you, I'm sorry."

He raised his hand and summoned a wisp of demonic essence, which landed on him. This dark essence was mixed with some pure white mirage.

Xie Tianyang stood up, swaying his body.

He retained his last shred of will.

In the final moments of his life.

His eyes trembled as he pleaded with Lin Jinglong in fear, "I already know I was wrong. What happened in this city has nothing to do with me. I am also a victim."

"Please spare me, please spare me!"

He was already a Celestial Martial Emperor. Amidst the entanglement of his will, his aura surged continuously. After receiving no response from Lin Jinglong, he charged into the chaotic battle ahead, relying on his Celestial Martial Emperor realm.

They killed several members of the Yangxin Temple.

But in this true purgatory, only one person could survive to the end. Not long after, Xie Tianyang died at the hands of others.

In the end, only a few old Taoist priests at the Dao Integration Realm remained standing. They were the strongest, and even if they lost their minds, they could still unleash their most powerful methods to defeat their disciples.

But even so, their battle is not over yet.

After all, until they break free from the influence of the two fundamental forces—the mirage and the demonic energy—they can only continue fighting.

On the periphery, the people from the Demon-Slaying Palace looked somewhat moved.

"These are all cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm, yet they had no ability to resist at all, and were defeated so miserably!"

"That Lin Jinglong, his methods are terrifying!"

"Don't offend him. We're lucky to be alive. As long as he's not controlled by the Heavenly Demon Source, we have no reason to be his enemy!"

They were still somewhat unconvinced by their previous defeat to Lin Jinglong, and they wanted to prove the strength of the Demon-Slaying Palace if given the chance.

But now, they have completely changed their minds.

Lan Yuexin swallowed again, her throat moving, her eyes flashing with terror.

Six powerful cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm were fighting like mad dogs, unable to even unleash their own Dao techniques, huddled together in the middle of the street, killing each other.

Will they all eventually die?

"That's natural."

Lin Jinglong nodded and said.

He never intended to let the people of Yangxin Temple go, except because they wanted to cause him trouble and prevent him from entering the Demon Cave.

Those who practice the Yangxin Temple must also bear the consequences of their sins. The ordinary people in Fengbei City who are tormented by demonic energy, and even those who have already died from it, are all innocent.

However, they have been poisoned by the methods of the Yangxin Temple and enslaved by them, so naturally they should not let the Yangxin Temple off easily.

About another fifteen minutes passed.

After the battle between the six cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm ended, Lin Jinglong appeared in front of one of them.

In the end, it was their eldest brother, Xuanfa, who seemed to have regained his senses. However, he was almost completely covered in wounds, as the previous frenzied biting had left him in dire straits.

In his weakened state, he saw Lin Jinglong standing before him.

"Monster, you're not human!"

"Lin Jinglong, you're a monster!"

"Those were all illusions. I actually... I actually killed all my junior brothers! It's all your fault!"

Xuanfa appeared to be in a state of madness and irrationality.

Lin Jinglong said calmly, "The real monsters are you. Although I set up an illusion, if your will is strong enough, you will not be affected by it."

"Heh, your willpower is strong enough?"

Xuanfa suddenly began to wail in pain.

"Illusionary magic is not so easy to deal with. This has nothing to do with our willpower; it's simply because you are a monster!"

"No, if you were truly working together and had no suspicions about each other, why would you kill fewer and fewer people out of suspicion?"

Lin Jinglong's words were a double-edged sword; they struck at the heart of the matter. Xuanfa fell even more silent, and he had to admit that Lin Jinglong's words made sense.

Although he and the others were from the same school.

But to say that absolute trust is impossible.

As long as there is no absolute trust, suspicion is possible. Even the slightest suspicion can be magnified into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood in the previous illusion.

This caused them to lose their minds in fear.

This led to the aforementioned result.

His expression was one of extreme pain.

Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at Lin Jinglong with resentment.

"Why haven't you killed me yet? Our master is a Supreme Being of the Dao Integration Realm... So many things have happened here, he must have already been alerted."

"You'll be joining us on our journey soon!"

When he spoke of his master, Xuanfa suddenly laughed in a twisted way. He gritted his teeth and said, "With the methods our master has mastered, you will be tortured by the Heavenly Demon Heart Refining Technique and die completely!"

"Heavenly Demon Heart Refining Technique?"

Lin Jinglong looked at him curiously.

"Want to know? I'm not telling you!"

"I don't need you to tell me."

Lin Jinglong smashed his head with a single palm strike.

Then, using the art of capturing spirits and commanding generals, they extracted his soul and plundered his memories of this mysterious technique.

The truth about Fengbei City was quickly uncovered.

Just as he had guessed, Fengbei City was merely a base used by their Yangxin Temple to refine magic crystals, while the ordinary people in the city were merely sustenance for them. As long as they were not completely wiped out, there would be no room for improvement for them.

At the same time, there are two kinds of so-called Heart Refining Techniques. One is based on the power of the Heavenly Dao and uses the Heavenly Dao to refine the heart. It has a miraculous effect on people with impaired will or who have always felt guilty because of certain things.

It's almost like masquerading as the Way of Heaven, giving people a moral judgment.

The end result is tormenting the enemy's mind.

This caused him to seemingly fall into the eighteenth level of hell, losing his mind in agony.

Another type of mind-refining technique is known as the Heavenly Demon Mind-Refining Technique.

It uses the essence of the Heavenly Demon.

However, it is simpler and more direct, similar to the Heavenly Demon Mirage Illusion Technique that Lin Jinglong has mastered.

To transform people's minds with the power of the Heavenly Demon's origin.

"That's all there is to it."

After reviewing his memories, Lin Jinglong was quite disappointed. He had thought he would encounter a unique cultivation technique comparable to the Drunken Dream Immortal Scripture, but it turned out to be nothing special.

When it comes to the Heavenly Demon's tempering of the heart, how can it compare to his mirage?

However, among the other cultivation techniques they practiced, the so-called Demonic Qi Nourishing Heart Technique piqued Lin Jinglong's interest.
