"boom!"

A barrier of light, sealing off the heavens and earth, shot upwards into the sky at the same time the "Sword of the Ancestral Scripture" was unleashed.

The sun and moon shone brightly, the mountains and rivers below merged, and countless sword energies filled the space.

However, the sword light curtain also collapsed and fell.

This caused the entire Haoran Mansion's mountain gate, as well as the surrounding area spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, to tremble violently.

It seemed that even the protective mountain formation had reached its limit.

The good news is that Dong Tianchu has lived up to expectations and withstood Bai Cang's sword attack.

The bad news is: it can hold on, but only a little bit.

It's estimated that if another sword strike comes, the protective array of Haoran Mansion won't be able to hold.

Without the protection of the mountain formation, Dong Tianshu seemed to lack the strength to confront that ferocious god head-on.

Especially when the light around Bai Cang surged again, and white light leaped up in his palm once more.

The people of Haoran Mansion, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help but feel their hearts leap into their throats again.

"Damn it! What kind of monster is this? Doesn't it ever get exhausted?"

"Which bastard is so blind as to provoke such a monster?"

"Damn beast, you're not even human!"

The cultivators of Haoran Mansion couldn't help but have similar thoughts arise in their minds.

From being initially arrogant and domineering to now being deeply worried, he's become so ruthless that he even curses himself.

Bai Cang only used three sword strikes to completely subdue Haoran Mansion, the "eleventh great mystical sect," leaving it utterly helpless.

"Prepare for the Loyal Heart Sacrifice, and conduct the Grand Ceremony of the Nine Categories!"

Only Dong Tianchu showed no emotional fluctuation, issuing orders with extreme calm.

However, upon hearing this, everyone was greatly shocked.

"Senior Brother Dong, why have you come to this?"

"With the Nine Categories Grand Ceremony taking place, how is our existence any different from being wiped out?"

"We can't just wipe out our entire family because they failed, can we?"

The other "masters" also voiced their opposition, their faces full of reluctance.

What is the Loyal Heart Sacrifice? It is a sacrifice made with one's loyal heart, offering up one's merits and cultivation, and integrating them into the righteous energy to enhance the power of the ceremony.

This is fucking killing them!

And this isn't an adjective; it's literally deadly.

How can they possibly accept this?

"I'm not discussing this with you, I'm just informing you."

Dong Tianshu reached out and summoned a long zither, which resembled a phoenix spreading its wings but with a slightly charred tail, which appeared out of thin air and stood in front of him.

Seeing this scene.

The other teachers seemed to have realized something, and their expressions changed drastically.

Without saying a word, they all leaped up and flew towards the outside of the mountain gate.

Surprisingly, he would rather face Bai Cang's sword head-on than stay by Dong Tianshu's side, and he refused to use any "Loyal Heart Sacrifice".

But at that moment, Dong Tianshu simply plucked a string, and with an unparalleled binding force, he froze the other teachers in place.

The righteous spirit within them merged with the vast righteous energy outside the mountain gate.

They completely ignored their orders and fell entirely under Dong Tianshu's control.

"The Burnt-Tailed Qin! You actually initiated the Nine Categories Grand Ceremony long ago?"

"Dong Tianchu, you harbor treacherous intentions and have the ambition of a wolf; you will die a horrible death..."

"You colluded with evil spirits and murdered your fellow disciples; the ancestors of all generations will never let you go..."

In an instant, the other teachers realized what was happening and began to curse loudly.

Dong Tianchu remained unmoved, as if he hadn't heard a thing.

His deep, thoughtful eyes no longer held any emotion of "being born as a human being," only an extreme sense of indifference and vastness.

His whole being was like an abyss, unfathomable and unfathomable.

As he lightly plucked the strings, the entire Haoran Manor exploded into a vast expanse of pure white aura, which merged into the mountain-protecting formation.

"What's going on? Are they wiping out their entire family?"

Even Bai Cang was stunned for a moment when he saw the "internal strife" below.

In order to avoid having his entire family wiped out, he chose to have already wiped out his entire family?

So you're learning from the old guard, huh? No one can capture Paris before the French military triumphs?

Bai Cang felt a lump in his throat, unsure of how to even begin to complain.

"boom!"

Just then.

Bai Cang was about to ignore everything else and strike him with his sword first.

A profound and boundless aura of desolation suddenly soared into the sky.

It actually forced him to stop his sword-drawing action.

Bai Cang projected the "Pot Heaven" into a massive, unparalleled vortex.

Only then did we manage to withstand that terrifying aura that reigns supreme over heaven and earth and controls the thoughts of all living beings.

At this moment, Dong Tianshu's aura became increasingly ethereal and lofty.

As his energy changes, ripples spread throughout the infinite space and time.

Like a gentle stream, it spreads and diffuses continuously, perfectly blending with the Daoist temple that Haoran Mansion has cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years.

It was as if the entire world, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, had come to "come alive" at that moment.

"Hmph, all flashy and pretentious!"

Bai Cang stood in the sky, his eyes shining with a cold light like frost.

Then, with a swift movement, all the winds and clouds vanished, the heavens and earth shattered, and hundreds of white lights coalesced into one, slashing towards Dong Tianshu from the sky.

No matter how many routes you take, I will only go one way!

No matter how many fancy tricks the opponent uses, he only needs to focus on the opponent's vital points and attack them relentlessly!

Now, the entire fortune and destiny of Haoran Prefecture are concentrated in the body of Dong Tianshu.

It can be said that "he is the sect, and the sect is him," and the two are no longer distinguishable.

Although it did make Dong Tianshu more difficult to deal with, his aura became even more unfathomable.

However, for Bai Cang, this was also a way of indirectly achieving his goal of destroying Haoran Mansion and intimidating the Xuanmen sect in the Central Plains.

The next step is simply a matter of fighting if you can, and running away if you can't.

It can be said that one can move forward or backward with ease, without any worries.

Even if Dong Tianchu is strange, could he be more outrageous than the cheat code that "Dao Da Ye" used?

"Clang!"

In an instant, the sword whistled, and the sword light fell.

With the blessing of adversity, the sword of annihilation across the universe will destroy all directions!

"Bah!"

At the same time.

Dong Tianshu then plucked the five strings and slammed his hands forward on the Jiaowei Qin.

A phoenix cry resounded through the heavens, even suppressing the sword cry of Bai Cang as he drew his sword.

In the vast天地间, even the enormous vortex formed by the projection of "壶天" showed signs of disintegration.

The "Pot Heaven" projection's suppression of the Haoran Mansion's mountain gate was instantly broken.

The magnificent Heavenly Gate, made of gold and jade, was gradually obliterated, and countless seal characters with the character "禁" (forbidden) were shattered amidst the myriad phenomena of wind and clouds, the space-time of heaven and earth, the rules of primordial energy, and the spiritual energy of the earth's veins.

"This is……?"

Upon hearing the phoenix's cry echoing through the heavens, Bai Cang's mind was stirred, and a thoughtful expression appeared between his brows.

The "Heart-Mind Divine Calculation" was activated instantly, and through billions of cycles, it found the answer closest to the truth!
