He is a highly revered monk who has undergone numerous reincarnations and arduous cultivation throughout his lives. She is a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan, one of the ancient mythical beas...
Just as everyone's attention was focused on Liang Yihan and the other disciples of the Yuandao Sect, the other two Buddhist disciples who had entered the cave also emerged one after the other. They were Shi Ning and Yuanjue. The two returned to the Buddhist sect's gathering place. Hearing what Liang Yihan had said before leaving, they exchanged a glance. Shi Ning put his hands together, chanted a Buddhist prayer, and said softly, "This fellow Daoist Liang Yihan is truly extraordinary!"
Yuanjue nodded and said with a wry smile, "That's right. With just one sentence, you made us realize the implications. Even if we're concerned about saving face, we can't just let the demons chase after them like this."
"Enough," Shi Ning said in a low voice. "It is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path. Today, the demons have gathered here. How can we stand by and watch them escape unscathed?"
Yuanjue nodded and raised his voice, saying, "Monks of Jinyuan Temple, listen up! Today we will eliminate demons and protect the righteous path!"
Shi Ning then said, "The monks of Bodhi Temple should follow the example of Jinyuan Temple!"
Huiyan stepped forward and shouted, "The same applies to all the nuns of Pudu Nunnery!"
Among the remaining dozen or so Taoist disciples, an older man stepped forward and shouted, "We, the various sects of Taoism, are righteous people and should do our part for the people of the Central Plains!"
"Hmph!" Li Molin's face was ugly. How could he not see that Yuan Dao Sect had obtained a rare treasure? These so-called righteous people on the cloud platform had no intention of protecting Yuan Dao Sect at all. But Liang Yihan's words had pushed them to the edge of the blade, forcing them to stand up and righteously "eliminate demons and defend the righteous path."
As Liang Yihan and the other disciples of the Yuandao Sect left, Li Molin and many demons had already stood up. Looking at the scene on the cloud platform, Li Molin turned to Yu Ke and whispered, "Yu Ke, give the order to leave twenty clansmen to hold off the enemy. We'll take advantage of the chaos to chase after them. Seizing the treasure is the most important thing!"
Yu Ke nodded and replied, "Yes!"
At this moment, a loud bang came from the entrance of Yuntai Cave. Everyone turned to look and saw that Qingyun and Qingling had retreated into the cave and closed the cave door.
At this moment, there were seventy or eighty demons on the cloud platform, and about a hundred feet away from them were more than a hundred righteous disciples. Just a short while after Liang Yihan and the others left, Yu Ke shuttled back and forth among the demons, conveying Li Molin's instructions to everyone.
Just as the righteous cultivators swarmed towards the demons, Li Molin, Liuli, Yu Ke, and Ji Jue led most of the demons and quietly retreated, while the remaining twenty demons charged forward. The next moment, Li Molin and the others all soared into the sky, changed direction, and chased after Liang Yihan and the other Yuandao Sect disciples who had left.
The righteous path comprises several sects, belonging to both Buddhism and Taoism, making it impossible for any single person to coordinate all members. Therefore, regarding Li Molin and his group's departure, some realized they should stop them but lacked orders from their senior brothers or sisters, while others didn't want to let the Yuandao Sect disciples off too easily. In the end, only a dozen or so people flew after them, but feeling outnumbered, they landed and, together with the others, surrounded the twenty demon clan members.
The twenty-odd demons were surrounded by more than a hundred people. Although they tried their best to maneuver and use all their skills, it was clear that their chances of survival were slim.
Li Molin and the others flew rapidly forward. At this moment, the rising sun slowly appeared on the horizon, and the warm sunlight shone on the mountains, casting dappled shadows on the trees.
The group moved extremely fast, and in the distance, a large patch of black light flashed across the horizon, leaving behind a faint black mist.
Soon, Li Molin and the others could see a large patch of multicolored sword light in the distance, and they all increased their speed without prior agreement.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, Liang Yihan and more than a dozen sword lights flew to the mountainside of a towering mountain and suddenly stopped.
Li Molin immediately shouted, "Stop! Stop!"
The demons were moving so fast that even when they stopped abruptly upon hearing Li Molin's order, they were already standing in the air in front of Li Molin, only a few dozen feet away from Liang Yihan and the others.
Liang Yihan and the others appeared one after another. Liang Yihan leaned against Yan Huayin, and together they stood on the flying sword, looking over from afar. He had a carefree smile on his lips and said loudly, "Greetings, fellow demons! The treasure is right here with me. If you have the ability, feel free to come and snatch it!"
Upon hearing this, many of the demons moved impulsively, wanting to rush forward. Li Molin raised his hand and shouted, "None of you are allowed to go!"
Most of those who rushed forward stopped abruptly, but a few did not stop and continued to rush forward.
To everyone's surprise, Liang Yihan and the others didn't move an inch, watching helplessly as the demons charged towards them.
Suddenly, a strange change occurred. Just when the demons were only ten feet away from Liang Yihan and the others, various colored lights suddenly flashed in the previously clear sky, surrounding the demons. Dozens of colored light swords appeared from the light and flew haphazardly towards the demons in the circle of light.
Before the demons could react, they were sliced into pieces by countless lightsabers, leaving behind only shrill screams.
