Jiang Li'an disappeared in an instant, which startled the surrounding Shushan sword immortals.
With their experience, they couldn't actually tell what tricks the other party was using - it was definitely not a low-level technique like invisibility, but a high-level method that even spiritual consciousness could not scan and locate.
In an instant, the witch appeared silently behind Ling Yunpo and pounced on his back again.
After the failure of the last body invasion, Jiang Li'an also knew that this person had a rare treasure to protect his body, so the Heavenly Demon's physical invasion would not work. Therefore, this time he used the Heavenly Demon's blood-sucking technique - as long as he gently sucked at the target, he would be able to mobilize the essence and blood in the body and out of it, and then suck it into the Heavenly Demon's stomach for rapid digestion.
But Ling Yunpo was born with sword bones, and had mutual induction with the Taiyin Su Ming Sword. The Su Ming Sword would never let the sword master fall into its trap so easily, so it did not give any warning at the moment.
When the essence and blood in Ling Yunpo's body surged and was about to break out of his body, it suddenly vibrated, causing Ling Yunpo's sword bones to ring, and retracting the essence and blood that was about to break out of his body.
Jiang Li was halfway through secretly sucking blood when she suddenly felt a stronger suction force coming from the other side, almost making her vomit it out. She quickly stopped sucking blood and felt a sweetness in her throat, and her technique suddenly backfired.
Although the damage from the backlash was just a drizzle to the Great Freedom Demon, the main thing was that she lost face... Since she came to the lower world, she had never suffered such a big loss.
Then the witch immediately activated the Heavenly Demon Sound Technique and screamed loudly and fiercely.
All the Shushan monks present, regardless of their level of cultivation, suddenly suffered splitting headaches and had difficulty controlling their body movements.
Although Su Jian and An Zhisu were also affected, they both had quick reactions. While their bodies were still under control, one used sword skills and the other used Taoism to attack Jiang Li'an at the same time, trying to stop her from casting spells.
With the high level of the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon, of course, he would not be disturbed by such a low-level attack of the Nascent Soul Golden Core. Jiang Li'an's figure became ethereal, and all the attacks passed through her body, while the screaming sound that made people unable to control their spirits never stopped for a while.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Yunpo suddenly appeared behind her.
"It's so noisy!" he said complainingly, and the Taiyin Suming Sword quickly slashed through Jiang Li'an's body.
The secret technique that could not even leave a scratch on him from an attack by the Nascent Soul Realm was almost instantly cut in half by the Taiyin Qi of the Su Ming Sword.
Jiang Li'an's body suddenly exploded and dispersed, turning into a thick, swirling black mist. Deep purple Taiyin Qi could be seen in it, as clear as milk dripped into ink.
The black fog quickly dissipated, and then re-condensed outside. The deep purple Taiyin energy in it had been forcibly faded away, and the black fog itself became much dimmer and sparser, a bit like the feeling of a gecko with its tail cut off.
The black fog only had time to condense into the witch's head, which cast a resentful look at Ling Yunpo, and then disappeared with a whistle.
After watching the witch escape, the Shushan sword masters at the scene finally recovered from the torture of the phantom sound.
"What kind of demon is that?" A Shushan elder asked in a trembling voice, in an incredulous tone, "When did the Demon Cult produce such a terrifying immortal?"
No one answered this question, and no one questioned the other party's realm level.
He was able to ignore the attacks of several Nascent Soul elders, and even the Sect Master Su Jian was unable to do anything to him. If not at the Immortal level, what other realm could he be?
If the Taiyin Sword Master had not been present and used the rank of the Taiyin Suming Sword to force the enemy back, everyone would have been wiped out this time... In past history, when encountering immortals from the opposing camp without the presence of immortals, the team would lose at least half of its members, and if the escape technique was not powerful enough, it was common for everyone to die.
It’s just a secret realm, why would the other party even send out immortals?
Everyone turned their eyes to Su Jian, waiting for the master to make the final decision.
The actual combat power displayed by the Demon Cult at this time has far exceeded Shushan's prior estimates.
If they continued to stay in this secret realm, the risk would be too high to be estimated. But if they left, what would happen to the Yunmeng Sword Box that they hadn't gotten yet?
The peak masters and elders who accompanied them on this trip also saw that the opponent's strength was indeed unfathomable. It was only because Huawu's magical power was restrained by the Taiyin Qi of the Taiyin Suming Sword, and the opponent was too arrogant and thought he could do whatever he wanted, so he was hit and his origin was injured.
But what if the other party uses the elixir to recover from his injuries and attacks again? What if he hides in the dark and continues to attack? What if he calls his friends and asks an immortal to come over?
Everyone actually had the unpleasant thought that "we couldn't stay here for long", but no matter what, no one wanted to be the first to speak.
The Shushan swordsmen were proud and unyielding after all. If someone else took the initiative to suggest evacuation, they could follow suit; but if they took the initiative to say they could escape, they would be afraid of being laughed at as a coward, and it would be difficult to retort if it was brought up again in the future, which made them feel very aggrieved.
At times like this, the sect's leader usually has to come out and "consider the overall situation" and say some nonsense like "although it will damage the sect's reputation, safety is still the most important thing now." Everyone will then take this opportunity to express their unwillingness, anger, and determination to fight to the death, but "since the leader has spoken, no one dares to disobey," and then quickly obey the order to exit the secret realm.
But Su Jian was also a proud and arrogant person, and this trait was even more prominent than other Shushan swordsmen. At this moment, the thought that kept lingering in his mind was, "Although the opponent might be an immortal, so what? He was still injured by my disciple."
If the follow-up response is effective, it seems that this immortal level can be killed...
"Master!" An Zhisu finally couldn't bear it anymore and said in a deep voice, "Whether to leave or stay, there must be an explanation!"
She spoke passionately and quickly glanced at Ling Yunpo beside her.
Ling Yunpo also knew that he must not hesitate at this moment, and immediately agreed:
"Since an immortal has intervened this time, we should immediately report to him and then make plans. The overall situation is more important, and the seniors must not act rashly!"
Upon hearing this, the peak masters and elders were deeply moved.
The IQ and language level of this Master Qingheng are indeed incomparable to those of his senior sister and master.
Look! It’s not “you can only evacuate if you can’t win”, but “you must hurry back to report to the headmaster”; it’s not “escape in panic”, but “put the overall situation first”!
Then everyone started to agree:
"Yes, although we are not afraid of the Demon Cult, we still have to prioritize things."
"Another immortal from the Demon Sect has appeared. We must report this to the sect immediately without any delay."
"Not getting the Yunmeng Sword Box is a small matter, but not letting the evil cult succeed is a big matter!"
Su Jian was speechless after hearing this, but he also realized that people's hearts were in turmoil at the moment, and there was no point in insisting on staying.
"Let's sort out the harvest from the battlefield." He could only sigh and say, "After half an incense stick of time, we will return to Shushan!"
