Chapter 60 Peach Blossom Slays Evil - Array Activated!

The moment Wei Danxin pressed her lips to Bitao's, the already chaotic Milky Way above the heavens surged even more violently, like a raging tide.

"Aa ...

"Aa ...

"No no no no no no no no no no..."

"I'm blind! I'm blind! Someone please tell me I'm blind!"

"I don't believe it must be a problem with the release of the Silver Gu. I don't believe it! Impossible! How could Immortal Mingguang kiss Immortal Bitao on his own initiative? Doesn't he dislike her?!"

"Wow! As expected, if you live long enough, you can see everything! Our Bitao has finally gotten her wish!"

"Hahahaha, this is so exciting! This is even more exciting than the Gengwu Tai Sui successor killing someone!"

"I'm from the Doubu tribe. They're arresting people outside. I'm even acquainted with the successor of that Gengwu Tai Sui God. They'll definitely take me away soon, waaaah, I don't want to go! I'm innocent! I want to see the Silver River Gu-Spinning Competition!"

"What's there to cry about? A relationship built on deception is like a castle in the air. Once Mingguang Xuanxian regains her memories, Bitao Shenxian is finished!"

"Mingguang Xuanxian took the initiative, and he even grabbed Bitao Shenxian by the neck. Such a strong desire for control! My legs went weak just watching him. Can't he really... grab me instead?"

"Pinch me, pinch me, pinch me... My true form is a white crane, with a long neck, so it's super easy to pinch!"

"Mingguang Xuanxian, you...you're finished! You killed the Ancient Immortal Clan first, and now...you'll never be able to marry a wife from the Ancient Immortal Clan!"

"Pah! This arrogant stench! So what if you're from the Ancient Immortal Clan?! I am from the Ancient Immortal Clan! I'm willing to marry Immortal Mingguang!"

"I just drew my longsword, then put it back in..."

"The game was so exciting, so incredibly exciting... I didn't dare sleep for fear of missing anything. I feel like I'm about to die from exhaustion. I still have so many official duties to complete..."

"Love! Is this what beautiful love is? I want it too!"

...

"Being completely infatuated" and "being utterly captivated" are not enough to describe how Bitao felt at this moment.

Holding her bright light, her golden crow, and all the tenderness in her heart, she felt as if she were floating on clouds, ethereal and blissful.

Wei Danxin's feelings were even stronger than Bitao's; he had never experienced such intimacy with another person in his life.

It was just a matter of lips and tongues entwining, yet he felt as if his body, soul, and everything about him were completely open to another person.

Allow the other party to come and go as they please, to sample, to take and to give.

He also thoroughly savored everything about the person in his arms through his lips and tongue.

He even felt that this was not just a fresh and tender "first taste", but rather as if the end was already set, and the fruit was ripe and ready to fall.

It's as if they were born to be this way, and should have been this way all along.

The two became so intimate that they indulged themselves without restraint, and time flew by unnoticed.

Bitao, who had initially been tilting her head back, had now snuggled into Wei Danxin's arms.

Wei Danxin changed from "grabbing" Bitao's neck to tightly wrapping her between her arms, leaving no gap.

He wished he could crush the peach bones and embed them completely into his blood and bones.

Fortunately, Bitao was not a weak mortal. Being kneaded and squeezed by such terrifying force, she could only gasp occasionally, feeling that Mingguang's body was truly strong.

He certainly has inexhaustible energy.

Because of the height difference between the two, she was much shorter than Wei Danxin when sitting there. Compared to being tightly bound, Bitao was more uncomfortable because her neck was almost broken from looking up.

Can't we try a different position?

Wouldn't it be easier for both of us to lay her flat on the bed?

Even if he's embarrassed, at least lying on his side allows them to see each other more clearly.

When Wei Danxin first grabbed Bitao by the neck and kissed her, Bitao was genuinely surprised.

I thought he seemed innocent, but he might actually be capable of anything when it comes to getting serious.

After all, many things between men and women are self-taught.

Moreover, the children of the ancient immortal clan did not spring from the cracks of rocks, and the celestial realm is not as fraught with taboo about love as depicted in those folk tales.

As long as intercourse and reproduction do not create karmic consequences with mortals and affect all living beings, the relationship between immortals is as natural as the five elements and yin and yang.

Mingguang's contact with public officials from all realms inevitably involves matters of love and romance.

Perhaps he was merely abstinent, but not truly devoid of human desires?

However, Bitao clearly overestimated him; he only knew that one pose.

He kissed her, using only a few simple steps.

First left, then right, then a little deeper with the tip of the tongue, shyly entwining it around the peach blossom, repeating this process over and over.

And for so long, he either hugged Bitao and rubbed his face against hers, but didn't kiss her.

Whenever he kisses her, he must revert to the position where he's choking Bitao.

For example, right now, even though I'm not using any force, it's as if I can't kiss you without holding on like this.

He doesn't actually know how to do it!

He had clearly rehearsed this countless times in his mind, perhaps even practicing with teapots or wooden carvings by the bedside.

Otherwise, given the strength with which he hugged her, the force with which he gripped her neck wouldn't have been so light.

Bitao wanted to laugh just thinking about it, but her mouth was busy right now, and it wouldn't be appropriate to laugh, as she was worried about leaving Wei Danxin with some psychological trauma.

Therefore, Bitao simply smiled and didn't try to guide him, letting him repeat the few poses he had secretly practiced.

For Bitao, this was like eating a delicacy.

After longing for it for over a hundred years, I finally got to taste it, and it was indeed as delicious as I had imagined.

As for the "way to eat" it, it's still quite simple right now, so there's no rush. And there's no need to add any "seasonings" yet.

This original flavor is also fresh and fragrant enough to leave a lingering fragrance on the palate, making it an unforgettable experience.

Moreover, because Bitao was pressed tightly against Wei Danxin, she could feel all the changes in him caused by his emotions.

The slight trembling of her body, the frequency of her breathing, the rhythm of her heartbeat, and the intense passion that was hard to ignore as she sat next to her.

Wei Danxin was very concerned about his reputation. He adjusted his position twice, but because he couldn't bear to let go of Bitao and couldn't bear to put anything between them, he couldn't actually move away.

He had been hunched over, but then he gave up and looked at Bitao apologetically. He gently kissed her forehead and the tip of her nose and coaxed her, "Don't be afraid... I won't do anything."

It's as if he can do anything, or dares to do anything.

"I will never be so rough with you again," Wei Danxin promised solemnly. "As long as you don't want it, I will never..."

"I'm willing," Bitao said hastily, wiping the water from her mouth. "I'm willing, I'm willing... Didn't I tell my senior brother that I was willing that time too?"

Wei Danxin's eyes were red as he looked closely at Bitao. He had been frantically searching for Bitao, then he had tried to rouse her, and then the two of them kissed and lingered intimately.

His sideburns were a little disheveled at this moment, with strands of hair clinging to his handsome and sharp features, making him appear exceptionally gentle.

Like the warm light of the setting sun, it is magnificent and boundless, soft and warm without being dazzling.

Hearing Bitao's repeated "yes," she seemed like a shy bride meeting her husband for the first time.

His golden eyes were fixed on Bitao, and their lips parted briefly, both moist and rosy. He touched Bitao's face repeatedly with his wet lips and whispered, "That will have to wait until after we're married."

"Let's get married when we get back!"

Bitao couldn't wait, "Then I'll move to your Yanlan Courtyard, and we can do this every day as long as we don't go out."

This second competition was so exhilarating! Bitao really hoped she could stay for forty years and spend her short life with Mingguang until they grew old.

Wei Danxin slightly curved the corners of her lips, then hugged Bitao tighter and said, "Are you really willing to marry me?"

Wei Dan thought to herself, "Do you really not like Fourth Junior Brother anymore?"

"I'm willing, I'm willing, I'm willing..." Bitao said in a string.

Wei Danxin felt her heart burning with excitement and didn't want to ask any more questions.

He could sense that his third junior sister was just as excited as he was, with the same chaotic heartbeat and the same infatuation with the intimacy between the two of them.

Even if she still has the shadow of her fourth junior brother in her heart, can't he make her have no time to think about other things and eventually forget her fourth junior brother completely?

Wei Danxin finally regained some confidence thanks to her third junior sister's enthusiastic response.

"Qingyao, we..."

"Hey hey hey hey hey!"

Bitao, who had been so soft and weak from being kneaded, was enveloped in Mingguang's aura for a long time, being kissed and hugged, and was almost melting into a puddle of water.

She was pressing her face against Wei Danxin's chest, figuring out what excuse to use to trick him into unbuttoning his shirt so she could have a taste before the wedding.

Then Wei Danxin called her "Qingyao".

"Don't call me by that name!" Bitao managed to keep her expression straight, preventing it from breaking down on the spot.

She broke through the lightning curse mark very early, and she had always been an observer of Yue Qingyao's identity, unable to immerse herself in it at all.

Even when faced with a wonderful mother like Bu Er Dao Ren, Bi Tao sometimes lamented why she didn't have such a mother. Yet, she never truly became hopelessly enamored with her.

The name was like a bucket of ice-cold water poured over her head, instantly freezing all the heat in her head.

Wei Danxin asked curiously, "Why? Do I have to keep calling you junior sister? But I have so many junior sisters..."

Bitao understood that Wei Danxin wanted a nickname that was exclusive to the two of them.

Bitao likes it this way too, but "Qingyao" really won't do.

She could barely respond when someone else called her, but if Wei Danxin called her that, even if the two of them were already passionately rolling around in bed, Bitao would immediately become listless.

Therefore, she said, "But many people also call me Qingyao, your father, that's what my master calls me."

"You are Master's son, so it's inevitable that your tone and appearance are somewhat similar to his. When you call me that, I'm a little scared."

That's a very good reason.

Wei Danxin's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

"Then what should we do? Or..." Wei Danxin suppressed her shame and whispered, "Or, 'Yao Yao'?"

Bitao shook her head frantically.

I practically shook myself into a rattle drum.

No, no, no, no...

"That……"

Bitao said she was talking nonsense, "Many people call me Yaoyao, Du Man and the others call me that."

Bitao stared at Wei Danxin's ample, soft chest and said, "Hmm... I like peaches, why don't you call me Taotao?"

Actually, many people call her Tao Tao. Bi Tao's name only has two characters, and with so many friends, they've already come up with all sorts of nicknames for her.

The only one that no one called out to was actually Little Peach Branch.

But this name, which belongs only to the two of them, will be most touching when Mingguang has all his memories, when he is willing to be with her without having to lie or hide anything.

Peach is very good.

At least in this star realm, no one calls her Tao Tao; it's a name reserved for just the two of them.

Moreover, Bitao is no longer afraid of the Nine Heavens Immortals' discovery through the Silver Han Net that she made Mingguang call her Taotao, and suspected that she had broken through the Thunder Pattern Curse Seal.

The Heavenly Realm is in such a chaotic state right now that no one cares about the details on her side.

Moreover, the successor of the Gengwu Tai Sui God tried to harm her but was killed instead. Now she is a "victim," and many people are speaking up for her.

Once Bitao has caught all the fish, she will no longer need to hide the fact that she broke through the Thunder Pattern Seal.

The name "Tao Tao" evoked a memory for Wei Danxin.

Wei Dan thought of the two of them... before that incident happened.

On her way back from hunting the Soul-Slaying Bird, she specifically asked herself for wild peaches to eat.

At that time, Wei Danxin only thought that she was deliberately provoking her.

They clearly had a few left but didn't give them to her; they secretly threw them away.

Looking back now, I feel a little regretful. I lovingly stroked Bitao's face and said, "You like peaches so much? How about I pick some for you next time? I'll only pick the sweet ones."

His tone of voice, his expression, and his movements were so gentle they were almost palpable.

Bitao had no idea that Mingguang would act like this after falling in love, and his tone made her head spin.

For the first time in my life, I experienced the power of the phrase "lust blinds the mind."

Bitao nodded "Mmm mmm mmm" and "fainted" against Wei Danxin's chest.

She buried her face in Wei Danxin's chest and rubbed against him, unable to help but let out some humming sounds from her throat.

Ah, that's awesome! It's so awesome!

Wow, those pecs are huge! Hahaha!

So soft and fluffy!

What's hers is hers!

Hehehehe.

Wei Danxin looked down at Bitao and was so charmed by her that she almost fainted.

It felt like the little deer and rabbit thrashing around in my heart were now in my arms, numb, bumping, and kicking against me. Goosebumps rose on my skin, and my whole body felt numb and tingling, with an uncontrollable tremor.

He held Bitao tightly in his arms, and for a fleeting moment, he had a cruel thought: to strangle her to death in his embrace.

He then suspected that he had some sadistic tendencies, and was grateful that someone like him could find a loving partner.

It truly is the mercy of Heaven.

"Tao Tao," he whispered in her ear.

Bitao hugged Wei Danxin tightly, responding with "Mmm..." sounds.

The two felt that simply sticking together wasn't enough, so Bitao quickly ran to sit on Wei Danxin's lap, facing him, and whispered some repetitive, meaningless words.

They even started planning their marriage.

The main focus is on planning how they will sleep after they get married.

"My bamboo bed is probably a bit small, so I'll have to get a new one." Wei Danxin felt embarrassed, but she couldn't help but look forward to and imagine the sweetness of their married life based on what Bitao had said.

Bitao said, "You can change anything else, but you absolutely cannot change that bamboo bed!"

Bitao said, "You don't understand, the bed between husband and wife shouldn't be too big."

Wei Danxin: "..." His handsome face, sculpted like frost and snow, was practically melting from the heat.

Third Junior Sister really dares to say anything...

Bitao smiled meaningfully. That bamboo bed was so fitting. If you made any big movements, it would bray like a donkey. Later, Wei Danxin would know just how wonderful it was!

Just as the two were getting really into their sweet, intimate moment, the door was pushed open.

Zhang Yuluan opened the door and said, "The head of the Wenxin Pavilion invites us to come over..."

She didn't have a habit of barging into other people's rooms. The reason she went directly into her fourth junior brother's room that day was because she knocked on the door and thought he had already gotten up.

The reason I pushed the door open and went in at that moment was because this was not anyone's room at all.

Moreover, she noticed that there had been no sound from inside for quite some time, so she figured that her senior brother's panicked state must have passed.

Just then, Zhuo Xing, the head of Wenxin Pavilion, sent someone over, and Zhang Yuluan assumed that they could communicate normally now.

When the door opened, they saw two people stuck together, piled on top of each other, looking as if they had become one person.

Zhang Yuluan, along with a group of junior brothers and sisters, stood guard nervously at the entrance, fearing that an irreversible conflict might have broken out with some sect.

This gave the two ample time to recover and heal after surviving the ordeal.

As a result, those two bastards were doing this kind of thing inside the house!

She practically wanted to throw her sword at them and kill them both!

"—I must be blind!" she said, using a double entendre.

Thankfully, the two of them didn't kiss when she entered, otherwise Zhang Yuluan might have had to lead her junior brothers and sisters to form a supreme sword formation and unite against the enemy.

Ever since Wei Danxin lost control in public and hugged Bitao, a layer of his sense of shame seemed to have been shattered.

Compared to the bone-deep fear of "losing the third junior sister," being watched by others while being intimate seems less unbearable.

He still wouldn't do anything outrageous in public, but now, with someone barging into his room, his first reaction was no longer to push the person in his arms away.

Instead, he hugged the person in his arms even tighter, and instinctively turned his body while sitting, using his body to completely shield the person in his arms.

However, Wei Danxin was still too inexperienced in matters of love and sex. It would have been better if he hadn't turned around, but by turning around and blocking Bitao, it made it seem as if they were really doing something.

Bitao couldn't help but chuckle at his clumsy attempts to protect her.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuluan was so enraged that her face turned red. She turned around and left, slamming the door shut behind her.

With a loud bang, the door almost fell off.

Destroy this world ruled by those despicable men and women!

He spat out as he stood outside the door.

The cultivator from Wenxin Pavilion who came to ask for help: "..." He silently took a step back.

I almost spat on his robe!

Originally, he wanted to ask the other party what she meant, but when he thought of the female cultivator's previous venomous words to their sect leader, he could only endure it. In the end, he moved his lips but held back.

The peach blossoms came out quickly.

Wei Danxin needed a little more time to tidy her clothes.

After opening the door, Bitao leaned against the door with her arms crossed and exchanged a glance with Zhang Yuluan.

Zhang Yuluan subconsciously glanced at her clothes and saw that they were perfectly neat, except for her hair which was a little messy. It was as if she finally let out a breath she had been holding back.

When Bitao was pretending to be asleep, she heard Zhang Yuluan defending her, which made her feel even more favorably toward her.

Bitao wanted to teach Zhang Yuluan that if she had a husband in the future, she should know whether the two of them were having an affair, but she shouldn't judge by whether their clothes were in disarray, since sometimes clothes don't even need to be moved.

That's sure to make Zhang Yuluan so angry she could tie a donkey to her lips.

However, the occasion is not appropriate now.

Bitao is not someone who only cares about being intimate with Wei Danxin and doesn't care about the current situation.

Before the formation was completed, the Thunder Sect cultivators ambushed her, so she was supposed to give the Heart-Seeking Pavilion some time.

Moreover, the idea of ​​cultivators from different sects looking out for each other was something Bitao knew was absolutely impossible from the moment Pavilion Master Liu Xing first proposed it.

Even among the immortals in the celestial realm, whose bodies are imbued with pure energy, there are still deep-seated barriers and constant disagreements.

These cultivators, who gathered together solely for profit and "righteousness," and whose cultivation methods and spiritual weapons were vastly different, still looked after each other.

If they really get mixed up and enter the Demon-Slaying Formation, and something happens, their first thought will be, "It's better for me to die than for my fellow Daoist to die."

Without the "fish" that Bitao caught to cause trouble, the subsequent events would only be more serious once the cultivators from various sects used the Soul-Guiding Incense to enter the formation.

Therefore, no matter how urgent the situation in Kangquan City is, they need to resolve their internal disputes first.

Wei Danxin soon came out as well, looking dignified and composed. In the blink of an eye, he was once again the aloof and imposing senior disciple of the Supreme Sword Sect.

Bitao and the others followed Wei Danxin to the main hall where the cultivators were gathered.

The Pavilion Master of Wenxin Pavilion stepped forward and looked at Wei Danxin apologetically: "It was indeed a cultivator from the Thunder Sect who attacked Fellow Daoist Le, but... this disciple of the Thunder Sect is usually timid and never makes enemies. He has little presence in the sect."

"I'm afraid we've never met before, so I'm afraid I can't find out why you're so hostile towards me in such a short time."

“Fellow Daoist Wei, the Thunder Sect and the Supreme Sword Sect have cooperated several times and have never betrayed each other. This matter... is probably a misunderstanding.”

Senior Brother Lü, the leader of the Thunder Sect whose robes and flesh had been pierced by Zhang Yuluan's sword formation, stepped forward with a face full of apology: "Fellow Daoist Wei, please grant us some more time. Once we return to the Thunder Sect, we will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly, clear up the misunderstanding, and give Fellow Daoist Le justice."

“Fellow Daoist Wei,” Pavilion Master Liu Xing said sincerely, “it is now past midnight and we have entered the fourteenth day of the seventh month.”

"If we cannot delay the evil spirits before the gates of hell open on the fifteenth of July, once the gates open and the yin energy floods into the human world, the evil spirits will surely grow stronger again. At that time, it is probably not a city or town that can stop their evil deeds."

The implication of these two was that they hoped the Supreme Sword Sect would temporarily set aside their grudges and focus on forming an array to delay the evil spirit.

Wei Danxin's face was cold and stern. He would never let the matter of the Thunder Sect cultivators trying to kill his third junior sister go unpunished.

But now the situation is indeed urgent. His third junior sister is alright, and the body cultivator from the Thunder Sect was also beaten to a pulp by him.

Furthermore, if we were to withdraw from the alliance simply because of this and ignore the evil spirits causing trouble here, even if we hoped that the evil spirits would eventually be subdued by the leaders of the various sects,

The Supreme Sword Sect's retreat in the face of battle will surely earn them the reputation of abandoning their comrades in a critical moment, a reputation for being unrighteous and heartless.

In the future, when the Supreme Sword Sect travels among the people, it will be difficult for them to team up with other sects to exorcise evil.

Therefore, Wei Danxin could only suppress her resentment and turn to look at her third junior sister, asking for her opinion.

Everyone's attention turned to Bitao, who was searching for Tiangu Lingxian and the others, but they were nowhere to be found in the entire hall.

Only after receiving inquiries and even pleading glances from the crowd did he withdraw his search.

If Bitao insists on breaking the alliance and leaving, other sects will likely follow suit.

Once this precedent is set, it becomes very difficult for sects that have formed an alliance to rebuild trust.

Bitao shrugged and said, "I don't know anything about that Thunder Sect cultivator. I don't know him at all."

"But we can't regard all fellow practitioners as wolves and villains just because of one person."

Everyone relaxed, but Wei Danxin frowned slightly.

His Tao Tao is still too kind.

But Bitao changed the subject and said, "Fortunately, I am safe now, but in order to ensure the safety of my junior brothers and sisters, the Supreme Sword Sect will not look after each other with other sects."

Upon hearing this, everyone became anxious again. Pavilion Master Liu Xing immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands, and was about to speak when Bi Tao raised her hand to stop him.

"Why is the Meteor Pavilion Master in such a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Isn't the goal to form the Five Elements Exorcising Array to suppress the evil spirits? Even if our Supreme Sword Sect doesn't look after other sects, we can still form the array on our own."

Bitao succinctly revealed the rift that everyone was trying so hard to conceal: "In any case, after what happened before, I'm sure the cultivators from all the sects are now finding it difficult to entrust their lives to each other."

"Why don't we let our fellow disciples take care of it, and set up the Five Elements Exorcising Array within our sect? With the spiritual attributes of cultivators from all the sects around us, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

"But in this way... there will always be those who can't gather all five spiritual attributes."

Inside the Wenxin Pavilion, the celestial dog cultivator who had initially guided Bitao and the others stepped forward and spoke.

"The Pavilion Master had already calculated before setting off that, if all goes well, the cultivators from all sects could form a total of twenty formations."

"It will surely be able to effectively suppress the evil spirit from continuing to grow stronger, and await the leaders and elders of various sects to come out of seclusion and kill the evil spirit."

"The Pavilion Master has taken into account everyone's cultivation level, the spiritual attributes of the cultivators who have signed up, and even the yin-yang balance between male and female cultivators. All of these factors have a great influence on the success and power of the Five Elements Exorcising Evil Formation."

"If each sect sets up its own formation, all these prior plans will be in vain."

The Heavenly Dog was quite anxious: "Wouldn't those cultivators who couldn't form the Five Elements Exorcising Formation have come for nothing?"

"If the formation is insufficient to effectively suppress the evil spirits, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"

Upon hearing this, the cultivator from the Seven Stars Technique spoke up and raised a question: "But what if cultivators from various sects form a mixed Demon-Slaying Array, and something like what happened with the Thunder Sect happens again?"

As soon as the Seven Star Palace spoke, someone from the Taixu Sect also spoke up: "Moreover, to enter the Five Elements Exorcising Evil Formation, one must first overcome the dream woven by the evil spirits that take away people's remorse and pain. Only after breaking through it can one clearly see the illusion that the evil spirits have trapped in the people."

"None of the cultivators from the Heart-Questioning Pavilion have awakened, nor have they shown any signs of being trapped in a dreamlike state. What if they are still stuck in their own dreams and haven't broken free yet?"

Wei Danxin stepped forward at the right moment, blocking all the various gazes that people were casting at Bitao.

She was completely covered behind her broad back.

He spoke definitively: "That's right. The cultivators of the Inquiry Pavilion have been in the formation for two hours now, and still no one has come out to give feedback. We don't know how effective the Demon-Slaying Formation truly is."

"Moreover, Meteor Pavilion Master, the Five Elements Exorcising Formation was originally our attempt to suppress evil spirits."

"Since it is an experiment, the effect of the experiment cannot be measured by the expected result."

"Now, each sect has set up its own formation, leaving disciples with similar spiritual attributes to be prepared for replacement."

"Once the Demon-Slaying Formation has truly taken effect, the cultivators from sects who trust each other will then form their own formations, with each sect leaving an equal number of cultivators to guard the formation."

"What does the Pavilion Master think?"

The leading star of the pavilion nodded happily: "That is indeed the best way."

Once the formation method was determined, the subtle wariness between the various sects vanished without a trace.

The group independently sought out rooms to set up their respective formations, using the formations that each sect was skilled in, in order to prevent any sneak attacks.

The Supreme Sword Sect also found a room to place the array plate.

Based on cultivation level and spiritual affiliation, it was decided to form a single formation for the time being.

The trigrams Qian and Dui belong to the metal element, while Zhen and Xun belong to the wood element. They respectively correspond to the Death Gate guarded by Mingguang (明光) and the Life Gate suppressed by Bitao (碧桃). ①

Lin Xuantu represents fire and sits in the Li position; Zhang Yuluan represents earth and guards the Kun and Gen positions. ②

Kan represents water, and she is a junior sister from the Supreme Sword Sect whose cultivation level is only at the lower stage of the Human Realm. ③

There was no other way; the Supreme Sword Sect only had this one water-attribute cultivator.

Everyone sat cross-legged in their positions and gave instructions to the junior brothers and sisters guarding the formation.

They lit the incense to guide the soul, and the group formed the Heaven-Reversing Seal to suppress evil spirits and ward off ghosts. ④

Then, use spiritual power to circulate the soul-guiding incense and inhale it into your nasal cavity, while simultaneously activating the array!

In an instant, the Five Elements Exorcising Array Plate at the very center emitted a blinding spiritual light, and several Earth-grade spirit stones above the array eye were drained in an instant.

The five elements of spiritual light rose from the ground, entered the five people's bodies, and then flowed out of their bodies as a stream.

As everyone chanted the incantation to activate the Five Elements Exorcising Array, it was as if someone was holding a pen and guiding spiritual light to travel and move through the air.

"Golden Spirit Blade slays, cutting down the delusions of evil spirits;"

"The spirit of wood flourishes, ensuring the soul's survival."

"Water cleanses impurities, washing away all karmic obstacles and demonic influences;"

"The fire spirit burns away evil, illuminating the true form of demons and monsters;"

"Earth Spirit Seals, Locking Yin and Yang, and All Things!"

"The Heavenly Seal reverses, and Heaven and Earth are overturned!"

"Exterminate Evil—Activate the Formation!"

Soon, the evil-slaying runes, like snakes, intertwined and bit each other, forming a giant talisman that poured down from mid-air towards the five people who had already inhaled the soul-guiding incense—the formation was complete!

Bitao closed her eyes and, guided by the incense, drifted into a dream. When she opened them again, she saw the most terrifying, painful, and unbearable scene she had witnessed in her more than two hundred years as an immortal—a scene she had never seen before, whether in heaven or on earth.
