At this moment, He Jing and the others arrived, and the demon cultivators immediately surrounded Shu Lan.
Shu Lan's heart sank immediately; the worst-case scenario he had foreseen had occurred.
Although He Jing was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, after the battle with the extraterrestrial demon just now, Shu Lan sensed that the extraterrestrial demon's cultivation was at the peak of the Integration realm.
Shu Lan currently only has the cultivation level of the mid-stage of the Integration Realm. She can deal with the extraterrestrial demons alone, but if there is another demon cultivator with the cultivation level of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm causing trouble, the difficulty will increase greatly, not to mention there are a bunch of demon cultivators with different cultivation levels.
But no matter how difficult it is, Shu Lan is determined to capture the extraterrestrial demon this time.
After He Jing joined the battle, Shu Lan indeed found it somewhat difficult to cope.
While attacking the extraterrestrial demons, Shu Lan also had to fight He Jing and the others. Fortunately, those demon cultivators were somewhat vulnerable, and Shu Lan quickly eliminated all the demon cultivators except for He Jing.
"Who exactly are you?!" He Jing was somewhat surprised and uncertain after seeing that Shu Lan had wiped out all of his men.
Shu Lan felt that it would be more convenient to use spiritual energy to deal with demon cultivators, so she converted all the demonic energy in her body back into spiritual energy.
Sensing the spiritual energy emanating from Shu Lan, He Jing was enraged: "You're actually a human cultivator! You've killed so many of my demon brethren, I'll make you pay for this in blood!"
Immediately, He Jing intensified his attack on Shu Lan.
Shu Lan was dealing with the extraterrestrial demons and was unable to dodge in time, so she was injured by He Jing.
Shu Lan gritted her teeth, realizing that the situation was dire. If they didn't finish the battle quickly, they might not be able to capture the extraterrestrial demon.
Shu Lan summoned the Taiyin Water Flame and attacked He Jing with it.
No matter how He Jing dodged, he couldn't escape the Taiyin Water Flame's lock-on. In the end, the Taiyin Water Flame struck him squarely, and his whole body immediately burst into flames.
He Jing screamed in agony, but he couldn't extinguish the Taiyin Water Flame no matter what he did. In the end, he watched helplessly as he was burned to ashes.
When the extraterrestrial demon saw the Taiyin Water Flame summoned by Shu Lan, his face immediately became much more serious. Although he did not know what Shu Lan had summoned, he could sense that it was extraordinary and not to be underestimated.
For a moment, the extraterrestrial demons became much more cautious when fighting Shu Lan.
After summoning the Taiyin Water Flame, Shu Lan decided to go all the way and aimed the Taiyin Water Flame at the extraterrestrial demon, launching it out in one go.
The Taiyin Water Flame immediately ignited upon landing on the extraterrestrial demon.
However, the extraterrestrial demon was prepared. Just as the Taiyin Water Flame ignited on his arm, he swung his sword and severed his own arm. Then, his arm grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Shu Lan pursed his lips, knowing this was a tough opponent, so he engaged the extraterrestrial demon in battle again.
As Shu Lan's battle dragged on, she sustained more and more injuries.
Finally, Shu Lan seized the opportunity and bound the extraterrestrial demon with a bundle of immortal ropes.
Then, Shu Lan dislocated all four limbs of the extraterrestrial demon. Since its limbs could regenerate, she decided not to sever them but to reposition them so that the extraterrestrial demon could not move freely.
After confirming that the extraterrestrial demon could not escape, Shu Lan carried the extraterrestrial demon and headed towards the Valley of Gods and Demons.
At this moment, tensions were running high in the Valley of Gods and Demons.
All the cultivators from the Immortal Sect drew their swords and aimed them at Qin An and his companions.
Qin An consistently denied that he was the one who spread the demonic seed, and he demanded that the cultivators of the various immortal sects produce evidence.
However, the cultivators of the Immortal Sect were convinced that the one who spread the demonic seed was Demon Lord Qin An, and they refused to listen to any explanations.
Thus, the current scene has come to be—the demon cultivators and the immortal cultivators have all pointed their weapons at each other, and they can start fighting as soon as their leaders give the order.
When Shu Lan arrived, this was the scene she saw.
"Senior brother! I've found the culprit! The culprit is the extraterrestrial demon!" As Shu Lan's voice fell, the extraterrestrial demon was thrown onto the open ground where the two sides were negotiating.
Both sides immediately turned their attention to the extraterrestrial demons.
"My God! What the hell is this?!"
"Exactly, he's so ugly!" This was what the female disciples, who were obsessed with looks, couldn't stand anymore.
"My grandmaster uncle said that this thing is an extraterrestrial demon!"
What exactly is going on now?
...
The cultivators from both the immortal and demonic factions began to chatter excitedly.
"Junior brother, what happened?" Venerable Lieyang asked Shulan with a puzzled look. When he saw the injuries all over Shulan's body, Venerable Lieyang's eyes changed again: "Junior brother, are you alright?!"
Shu Lan was focused on bringing the extraterrestrial demon to clear Xiao An's name. She didn't notice her own injuries and neglected to treat them. Shu Lan was now deathly pale, a sign of excessive blood loss.
Shu Lan pursed her lips. "Senior brother, I'm fine! The matter of the extraterrestrial demons is the most important right now!"
Then, facing all the demon cultivators and immortal sect members, Shu Lan recounted everything he had investigated.
This includes the conspiracy of the extraterrestrial demons, and what he discovered after infiltrating the branch headquarters...
The cultivators from all the immortal sects were greatly surprised, never expecting that the matter of spreading the demonic seed was not actually done by Demon Lord Qin An.
Upon hearing Shu Lan's words about the extraterrestrial demons' intention to invade the entire continent and the imminent arrival of the extraterrestrial demon ruler on this continent, the cultivators of the immortal sects immediately became tense.
"Invade our continent?! That's absolutely unacceptable!"
"Yes! If our continent were to be invaded by extraterrestrial demons, it would surely be a time of great suffering and death!"
"We must stop this from happening!"
...
On the demon cultivators' side, everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Shu Lan's explanation. Finally, they weren't going to have to carry such a huge burden of blame anymore!
Qin An, however, spotted Shu Lan immediately. When he saw his master brother covered in injuries, Qin An's heart skipped a beat. He wished he could rush forward immediately to ask what had happened and help his master brother heal his wounds.
After hearing what his master had to say, Qin An was deeply moved. He knew that his master's journey to capture the extraterrestrial demon was all for his sake. To clear his name, his master had risked his life to personally capture the extraterrestrial demon, resulting in serious injuries.
Seeing the deep, bone-revealing wounds on his master's body, Qin An felt a pang of pain in his heart, wishing that all the injuries his master had suffered could be inflicted upon him.
"Everyone!" Venerable Lieyang suddenly spoke up. After discussing with Shulan, he decided to tell the members of the Immortal Sect their thoughts.
"Why don't we cooperate with the Demon Realm and jointly resist the invasion of the extraterrestrial demons?" As soon as Venerable Lieyang said this, the scene fell silent.
