Chapter 35: Demon Slayer (Part 3) The battle between the two reached a stalemate...
In the secret room of the Demon Palace, Xu Anzhi stopped sitting and the voice lingering in his mind rang out.
"The people sent by the righteous to encircle and suppress you are already on the way." The voice was filled with a hint of gloating.
Xu Anzhi's face remained calm. She simply stroked the red paper umbrella on the stand with her hands and replied nonchalantly, "Didn't you also experience a situation like this in your previous life?"
The voice in my head was still laughing, "Yeah, but I didn't have the honor of such a grand occasion in my previous life."
Hearing this, Xu Anzhi was too lazy to pay attention to the jokes in the voice in her mind. She just raised her foot and left the secret room. Those demon cultivators gathered in the main hall of the Demon Palace, including her several clones.
Since she broke through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm, Luo Yin's injuries from the battle with Master Mingyue have all recovered, but she has been silent most of the time.
Xu Anzhi understood that although these were her clones, most of the time she did not interfere with their actions, and it was very normal for these clones to have their own ideas.
However, this time she was not trying to wipe out those righteous people. She had only one goal from the beginning to the end.
Xu Anzhi spoke up, "Everyone, a battle with the righteous is inevitable. Let those hypocritical righteous believers see that the demonic cultivators are the true masters of this world of cultivation."
With one call, hundreds of demon cultivators responded. All of them agreed with what Xu Anzhi said. After all, demon cultivators valued the use of force, and she was the person with the highest realm present.
However, in the face of the public's outrage, Luo Yin remained silent, making it difficult to tell what she was thinking.
At this moment, the voice in Xu Anzhi's mind said with a hint of joking, "You better work harder. Don't let those righteous people kill you before you achieve your goal."
Xu Anzhi remained noncommittal. "She won't let this opportunity slip away. After all, I have the technique that she wants most, which can bring people back to life."
His voice was mocking, "Then do your best. Whether we can get revenge depends on you."

Above the fairy boat, the sea of clouds stretches as far as the eye can see.
Chi Wanyin stood on the side of the boat, quietly gazing at the sea of clouds, wondering what she was thinking.
Liu Qianhe, who had just walked out of the cabin, saw this and sighed as he spoke to Xu Yunting beside him, "We'll be arriving at the Demon Palace in just one day. I'm afraid it's going to be a fierce battle then."
After these years of experience, Xu Yunting has become much more calm. "This time, all the major sects have sent their elite disciples. Those ordinary demon cultivators are no match for them."
"That's what they say, but the demon cultivator at the Divine Transformation Realm who leads them is very mysterious. He took command of the Demon Palace so quietly." Liu Qianhe was still a little worried.
Xu Yunting's heart sank when she heard this. Ever since the group from Taichu Sect came back, she had been practicing very hard to be able to enter the inner sect. Now she had some prestige in Yantian Sect.
At this moment, Chi Wanyin turned around and looked at her. It was unknown what she said to Liu Qianhe through telepathy. Liu Qianhe hurriedly left here.
There were only two of them left here, and Chi Wanyin just said to her: "After the Taichu Sect incident was over, I never had the chance to talk to you in detail, but now I have the chance."
Xu Yunting looked at Chi Wanyin and said, "Senior Sister Wanyin, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
"What is your relationship with Xu Anzhi?" Chi Wanyin asked directly.
Xu Yunting lowered his eyes, "Senior Sister Wanyin, this story might be a bit long."
Chi Wanyin gestured for her to continue, and she listened, "I don't remember much from my childhood. I only knew I had an older sister. It wasn't until I reached my current level of cultivation that I regained my memories. In my memory, my older sister and I depended on each other for survival, and because she had a talent, she joined the Immortal Sect. She would occasionally send me letters, until one day, this contact was completely severed. I wanted to find her, and so I also wanted to join the Immortal Sect."
"Is the sister you are talking about Xu Anzhi?" Chi Wanyin asked directly.
After Xu Yunting finished speaking, he smiled as if relieved. "You know everything that happened later. Actually, my memories of these things have become fuzzy since I joined the immortal sect. I never thought I would see her clone in the Taichu Sect."
She did not personally experience the battle that night, but after waking up and hearing about it, she was still frightened. The elder sister whom she had not seen for many years turned out to be a bloodthirsty and cruel demon cultivator.
"So, do you still believe in her now?" Chi Wanyin asked her.
Xu Yunting remained silent, but Chi Wanyin seemed to already know the answer. "If you can meet her, you might as well ask her in person."
She turned back to look at the roiling sea of clouds outside the fairy boat, thinking that if Xu Yunting was like this, she would be like this too.

The immortal boat docked near the Demon Palace. Without releasing her spiritual sense, Chi Wanyin could sense the extremely rich demonic energy emanating from the huge Demon Palace.
This demon-eliminating conference gathered the most elite disciples from all the major sects. As soon as they got off the immortal boat, they headed straight for the Demon Palace.
When they arrived at the gate of the Demon Palace, the dark and heavy stone door slowly opened. Chi Wanyin frowned and looked at the darkness behind the door. After a moment, she and Liu Qianhe, along with the disciples of Yantian Sect behind them, entered the Demon Palace.
However, from the moment she stepped in, she was left alone standing there. Chi Wanyin narrowed her eyes. It seemed that the other party also knew that they were outnumbered and wanted to separate and defeat them one by one.
Sure enough, as Chi Wanyin moved forward, she encountered many demon cultivators who blocked her way. Their cultivation was not high but they were annoying. Chi Wanyin wielded the sword and killed them one by one without mercy.
Those demon cultivators seemed to be endless. Looking at his blood-stained hands, Chi Wanyin came to his senses and realized that something was wrong.
Perhaps from the moment they stepped into the Demon Palace, they had already fallen into Xu Anzhi's illusion. The longer they killed in it, the faster they would become addicted and lose their minds.
When she realized that something was wrong, Chi Wanyin clenched the peach wood sword in her hand tightly. Only in this way could she stay as clear-headed as possible.
So, she stopped slaughtering those phantoms and just focused on finding the road ahead. When she broke out of the illusion and walked into the hall of the magic palace, she saw a group of demon cultivators led by Xu Anzhi.
"So you are still alive? That's really surprising." Xu Anzhi had a gentle smile on her face, but behind her were a group of demon cultivators led by Luo Yin and Galan.
Chi Wanyin didn't want to waste time talking to her and attacked her with her sword. However, before it touched Xu An, Luo Yin blocked it with her magic weapon, the konghou. Then Galan threw a powerful punch.
Faced with this punch, Chi Wanyin had to raise his sword to block it. Fortunately, at this time several golden needles attacked Luo Yin. Galan turned around to block them. The golden needles broke through the protective spiritual energy around him and pierced his arm. Galan found that the arm hit by the golden needles had its meridians blocked, and the spiritual energy could not circulate temporarily.
Liu Qianhe also broke through the illusion. At this moment, she still held several golden needles in her hand, "Today, all of you demon cultivators must die."
This time, the golden needle in her hand was thrown towards Xu Anzhi, but the moment the golden needle was about to touch her, its speed suddenly slowed down.
The red umbrella stood quietly in the sky with its umbrella open. Chi Wanyin and Liu Qianhe couldn't help but feel that even their own time seemed to have stopped for a moment.
Luo Yin and Jia Lan originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to attack the two, but a huge poisonous insect blocked their way. Yin Xuechan held the bamboo flute horizontally in front of him and chuckled, "I'd like to see what you two can do."
Yin Xuechan broke out of the illusion a little later than the other two. She continued to play the bamboo flute to control and summon the poisonous insects. In a moment, the summoned poisonous insects covered the sky and bit the demon cultivators. Those with lower cultivation were immediately devoured and bitten by the poisonous insects, and no trace of their bodies was left.
Chi Wanyin and Song Qingtang had also recovered from their stagnation, but she couldn't help but feel nervous. The power of this magic weapon in Xu Anzhi's hands was even more terrifying than when Luo Yin used it.
Fortunately, Yin Xuechan was able to delay time, and the disciples from other sects also broke through the illusion and fought with the remaining demon cultivators.
When Xu Yunting came out, she looked at Xu Anzhi, who was manipulating the flower stand, with a complicated expression. Xu Anzhi's eyes met hers for a brief moment, but she pretended not to notice and concentrated on dealing with Chi Wanyin and Liu Qianhe.
After all, the two of them were the most likely people to threaten her, and they were also the biggest variables in this battle.
The fighting continued, with demonic cultivators and disciples from the sect falling one after another, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Xu Anzhi fought one against two, while Luo Yin and Jia Lan were restrained by Xu Yunting and Yin Xuechan respectively.
At this moment, the voice in her mind sounded again, "Why are you so embarrassed? Don't be soft on Song Qingtang's junior sister, otherwise how can you lure her out?"
Xu Anzhi ignored it, but she did have more than just the flower-supporting magic weapon in her hands.
The tough silk thread in her hand was already swung towards Chi Wanyin. Chi Wanyin knew that this was the magic she had learned in her previous life - puppet thread.
This thread is made of spider silk spit out by the spider mother. It is extremely tough and can cut gold and jade.
The silk threads were dense and overwhelming, leaving the two with nowhere to hide and had to face them head-on. Chi Wanyin swung her sword to cut them, but the threads were extremely tough. Even if she could cut them, a small portion of them would still fall on her body, leaving bloody marks. More threads followed, and Liu Qianhe was unable to stop them. If all of them fell, the two would probably become puppets controlled by her.
At this moment, a green sword cut through all of Xu Anzhi's puppet threads, and the swordsman in a black robe held Chi Wanyin in his arms and left this place.
Chi Wanyin could see that one of her pupils was golden, and she felt very uneasy, but she was trapped in her arms and could not move for the time being.
Chi Wanyin called her in an almost trembling voice, "Senior Sister."
The black-robed figure moved her fingers slightly, and the Sword of Flowing Water that easily cut through the puppet's threads was recalled. However, she did not speak, but just looked at the other party quietly.
Xu Anzhi, who was watching all this, smiled with satisfaction. "You have finally appeared, but now which will is stronger in your body, yours or His will?"
The black-robed figure removed her hood, revealing her true face. A flame-shaped flower ornament adorned her forehead, and her long hair was held together with a single black wooden hairpin. She now exuded a strange, cold, and demonic aura, a stark contrast to her past.
She finally let go of the hand that was holding Chi Wanyin. The light in her golden eyes became brighter and brighter, and her expression seemed to have become a different person as she pointed at her, "Ant." The Flowing Water Sword followed her instructions and went in the direction of Xu Anzhi.
Looking at the sharp sword, Xu Anzhi laughed wildly and happily. She didn't care about the demon cultivators and her two clones. Her body suddenly grew bigger, and the puppet thread in her hand fell on her body. She actually refined herself into a puppet.
The Sword of Flowing Water chopped at her body, but her body seemed to be completely unharmed, and the battle between the two came to a stalemate.
Looking at the two people fighting, Chi Wanyin was shocked. Her senior sister had returned to the way she was when she killed her in her previous life. Nothing had changed after the first try. It turned out that her fate had returned to the ending that had been predetermined.
