As soon as Lin Yang's shout fell, the black-robed experts who emerged from the black smoke pounced on the group like ghosts. Their movements were extremely agile, their figures appearing and disappearing in the smoke, making them elusive.
One of the black-robed experts suddenly produced a long black whip, wreathed in dark energy, and lashed out at Lin Yang like a black venomous snake. Lin Yang swiftly used the "Starry Shadow Step," his figure flashing as he dodged the fierce attack. The whip struck the ground, instantly creating a large crater and sending dust flying.
After regaining his footing, Lin Yang unleashed the "Starlight Piercing" technique from the "Starry Sky Sword Manual." Several sharp starlight beams shot from the Starry Sky Golden Sword, hurtling towards the black-robed expert like meteors chasing the moon. The black-robed expert coldly snorted, his long whip flashing rapidly, forming a black light screen that blocked the starlight beams. The starlight beams collided with the black light screen, erupting in a series of flashes and booming sounds.
Meanwhile, other black-robed experts also clashed with disciples from the Xuanfeng Sect and Yanshen Sect. One black-robed expert waved his hands, and several dark blades appeared out of thin air, flying towards the Xuanfeng Sect disciples. The Xuanfeng Sect disciples quickly activated the "Clear Wind Guardian Array," and a blue wind wall instantly rose, blocking the dark blades. However, the dark blades contained immense power, and the wind wall trembled slightly under the impact.
The disciples of the Flame God Sect unleashed "Roaring Flame Dragons," sending several colossal fire dragons charging towards the black-robed expert. The black-robed expert remained calm, chanting incantations as a black shield appeared around his body. The fire dragons crashed into the shield, sending sparks flying, but the shield remained steadfast.
Lin Yang knew that these black-robed experts were formidable, and if he didn't devise a countermeasure quickly, his side might suffer casualties. While dealing with the black-robed expert wielding a long whip, he observed the moves of the other black-robed experts, trying to find their weaknesses.
During the fierce battle, Lin Yang noticed that although these black-robed experts fought individually, whenever one of them was in danger, the others would always come to their aid, seemingly with a tacit understanding between them. A thought struck Lin Yang: if he could break their coordination, perhaps he could defeat them one by one.
"Listen up, everyone! Don't fight individually! Concentrate your forces on attacking one of the black-robed experts and break their coordination first!" Lin Yang shouted. Upon hearing this, everyone adjusted their tactics.
The disciples of the Xuanfeng Sect and the Yanshen Sect cooperated. First, a disciple of the Xuanfeng Sect used the "Gentle Wind Tornado Technique" to create a powerful tornado that engulfed a black-robed expert. The disciple of the Yanshen Sect then seized the opportunity to use the "Infernal Explosion Sea of Fire" technique, injecting flames into the tornado to create a firestorm that launched a fierce attack on the trapped black-robed expert.
The trapped black-robed expert struggled against the flame storm, constantly wielding his weapon in an attempt to break free of the inferno. However, the disciples of the Xuanfeng Sect and the Yanshen Sect coordinated perfectly, and the power of the flame storm grew stronger and stronger, gradually overwhelming the black-robed expert.
On Lin Yang's side, with the other disciples drawing the attention of some of the black-robed experts, he was able to focus all his efforts on the black-robed expert wielding a long whip. Lin Yang unleashed "Star Shattering Void," a sword aura containing powerful stellar energy tearing through space and slashing towards the black-robed expert. Sensing the power of this attack, the black-robed expert's expression changed slightly. He concentrated all his dark power into his long whip, attempting to block the sword aura.
Boom! The sword energy collided with the whip, unleashing a deafening roar. The black-robed expert was thrown back several steps by the powerful impact, his arm trembling slightly. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Yang pressed forward, unleashing his "Starry Sword Shadow Dance," his sword shadows flashing like a storm as he attacked the black-robed expert. The black-robed expert tried his best to defend, but was still cut by Lin Yang's sword shadows, blood flowing from the wound.
Just as Lin Yang and his group were gaining the upper hand, a sharp whistle suddenly rang out in the camp. Upon hearing the whistle, the black-robed experts seemed to have received some kind of order. They ceased fighting and began casting spells to create black smoke, attempting to take the opportunity to escape.
"We can't let them get away!" Lin Yang shouted. The group quickly gave chase, but the black-robed experts were extremely agile under the cover of smoke, making it difficult for them to catch up for a while.
Just as everyone was getting anxious, Su Ran suddenly arrived. Seeing that the black-robed experts were about to escape, she immediately used "Ice Spirit Frost Domain," and the surrounding temperature plummeted instantly, the ground quickly froze, and the black-robed experts' movements were greatly restricted.
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Yang unleashed "Starry Sky-Splitting Flash," transforming into a streak of starlight and instantly catching up with a black-robed expert, his Starry Golden Sword pressed against the expert's throat. "Speak, who is the mastermind behind you? What other schemes are there?" Lin Yang demanded angrily.
The black-robed expert snorted coldly, a resolute glint in his eyes. He then bit his tongue and committed suicide. Lin Yang felt a surge of resentment, knowing that these black-robed experts must have undergone rigorous training and would rather die than reveal any information.
Although they didn't get any useful information from the black-robed expert, Lin Yang and his group successfully destroyed the rumor-spreading stronghold, temporarily thwarting the mysterious force's plot to destroy the Demon-Suppressing Alliance.
Upon returning to the sect, Lin Yang recounted the events of the operation to the sect leader and elders. The sect leader, his expression grave, said, "The mysterious forces are indeed cunning. Although we thwarted their plot this time, they will undoubtedly have other plans. We must strengthen our defenses and, at the same time, repair the rifts between the various sects caused by the rumors as soon as possible."
Lin Yang nodded and said, "Sect Master, rest assured, I will communicate with representatives from other sects, tell them the truth, and dispel any suspicions."
Afterwards, Lin Yang immediately went to the other major sects. He told the sect leaders and elders of each sect in detail about his discovery at the valley camp and the mysterious force's conspiracy. After listening, everyone suddenly realized that they had almost fallen into the trap set by the mysterious force.
"Thanks to young friend Lin Yang for discovering and destroying their stronghold in time, otherwise our Demon-Suppressing Alliance would probably have fallen apart because of these rumors," the Xuanfeng Sect Master said gratefully.
The sect leader of the Flame God Sect also said, "That's right, this is a lesson. We can no longer easily believe those baseless rumors. The unity of the Demon-Suppressing Alliance is crucial. We must fight against the mysterious forces together."
Thanks to Lin Yang's efforts, the suspicions among the various sects gradually dissipated, and the Demon-Slaying Alliance regained its unity. To further strengthen the alliance, the various sects decided to jointly hold a cultivation exchange conference, allowing disciples to learn from each other, share cultivation experiences, and improve their strength together.
The cultivation exchange conference was held in Qingfeng Valley of the Xuanfeng Sect. On this day, Qingfeng Valley was bustling with activity, as elite disciples from various sects gathered there. The conference consisted of two parts: sharing cultivation experiences and practical sparring.
During the cultivation experience sharing session, disciples of the Xuanfeng Sect shared their experience on how to perfectly combine the power of the wind with movement techniques to enhance combat agility; disciples of the Yanshen Sect talked about their insights on fusing different fire attributes to create more powerful spells. Lin Yang also took the stage to share his insights on cultivating the power of stars, as well as techniques on how to fuse the power of stars with swordsmanship to unleash even greater power.
The disciples in the audience listened with great interest, frequently asking questions and engaging in in-depth discussions with the speaker. Through this session, the disciples all benefited greatly, gaining new insights into their own cultivation.
The practical sparring session was even more spectacular. The disciples were paired up and engaged in fierce competition. The Gentle Breeze Sword Technique of the Xuanfeng Sect disciples clashed with the Flame Burst Sword Technique of the Yanshen Sect disciples, creating a dazzling display of light; the crystalline ice spells and the booming lightning spells intertwined, leaving the audience breathless.
Lin Yang also participated in the actual combat sparring. His opponent was a genius disciple of the Flame God Sect named Yan Lie. Yan Lie was skilled in fire-based magic and possessed formidable strength.
At the start of the match, Yan Lie unleashed "Flame Dragon Strike," sending a giant fire dragon hurtling towards Lin Yang. Lin Yang remained calm, activating "Star Shield," a golden shield protecting him. The fire dragon crashed into the shield, sending sparks flying, but failed to penetrate it.
Lin Yang seized the opportunity and unleashed "Starfall Impact" from the "Star Sword Manual." A massive star meteorite condensed on the Starry Golden Sword and hurtled towards Yan Lie with tremendous force. Yan Lie quickly activated "Infernal Barrier," and blazing flames formed a solid barrier, blocking the star meteorite's attack.
The two exchanged blows, their moves ever-changing, drawing cheers from the audience. In the end, Lin Yang, with his exquisite control over the power of the stars, unleashed the "Starry Chaos Slash," defeating Yan Lie in one fell swoop.
The cultivation exchange conference concluded successfully in a warm atmosphere. Through this conference, disciples from various sects not only improved their own strength but also enhanced their friendships, further strengthening the cohesion of the Demon-Suppressing Alliance.
